Basically the Boomers had this amazing insight in the ‘60s: that race was just skin deep and humanity had gotten it all wrong for all these centuries. The Boomers knew the truth: there were never any real differences between races, cultures, and nationalities because think about it? Does not a mother in Africa love her kids? Does not a white Minnesotan mother love her kids? So that’s it. We were all one. We were all the same. The Boomers decided it, and they were gonna show the world!
Then something strange happened.
The actual world didn’t correspond to the Boomer’s vision of it. Races continued to stick together. Ancestral cultural differences continued to assert themselves. Different demographics continued to behave in the same habit patterns of the past. And opening up opportunities to everyone didn’t change demographic preferences, interests, or abilities.
At this point, some generations might have reconsidered their hypothesis. Not the Boomers. They doubled down. They knew their vision of race was right so something else must be wrong. Aha! Systemic oppression. It wasn’t enough to provide equal opportunity, we needed Affirmative Action. We would rig the game to get the race-neutral distribution curves throughout society that would prove the Boomers right! Then everyone would see the truth!
But even rigging the system didn’t get the Boomers what they wanted. You penalize every Asian 250 points as soon as they sign their name on a math test, you give every black dude a bonus 500 points, and the Asians still come out on top. You cast a white guy as every thug in every movie and TV show and white dudes sitting at home still won’t stick up the local Circle K. You tell Jewish kids no athletic dream is beyond them, yet somehow Jewish people still don’t make the NBA.
So weird, right Boomers? It wasn’t supposed to be this way. Race was supposed to be the same as eye color. Arbitrary, irrelevant. But for some strange reason nothing you do seems to make it go away.
And now the Boomers are pissed. They are furious. None of their hippy dippy hand-holding bullshit panned out. So where did it go wrong? It couldn’t be that the premise of their theory was wrong. No no. It’s white people. Just the existence of white people is why none of this turned out and now they want their revenge. They need to prove this theory true and if they have to genocide every white person from the Earth to purge the world of racial animus, then that is just what they will have to do.
And here’s the irony. Even white genocide won’t prove the Boomers right. It’s just another doubling down of the same idiotic, destructive impulse. No whites on Earth doesn’t mean racial harmony, it means every other race turns on each other for whatever resources remain. And what will the Boomers do then? Probably blame it on the echo of the memory of the legacy of white racial hatred, I guess. They could probably run on that narrative for a couple hundred years.

The Boomers weren't all Commies, Einstein. It's the Commie Boomers wormed into the gov't that you're talking about.
The non-commie boomers are busy enjoying retirement and endless vacations to care their childs future got screwed
Right. 🤣 The stereotype lives in your head, surely.
