Over Christmas I had to hear my nice explain why she didn't like the movie Oppenheimer. She said "it was too full of old white men." Yes, I have one of those types in my family. If it wasn't for those old white men, we'd have lost countless lives invading Japan. When you need something to actually work, you want those "old white men."

No, I didn't say a damn thing. I promised my elderly mother to not ruin another Christmas by fighting with the psycho side of the family.

If it wasn’t for those old white men, knuckle heads wouldn’t have the luxury of living in a country where they could complain. Referring to the founding fathers.

That rich guy who got himself (and four other people) killed going down to the Titanic was clear. He didn’t want any old white men around. No matter that they were the submersible experts.

Good for you. There is a time and place for everything. And at family gatherings it’s time for peace, not arguments. So like you, I say nothing political. Instead I have become an expert at changing the subject.
