| MrT-Tar said: My Grandma reads the Daily Mail. She now hates immigrants and single mothers, despite herself being both back in the 1960s. She's also becoming increasingly Islamophobic. For years, the rest of my family have been trying so far unsuccessfully to ween her onto what we consider quality newspapers such as the Independent and the Guardian. My Grandma got a first class degree in Economics, I can't see how she is falling into their bullshit trap, I really hope I'm not like that when I'm in my 70s. |
That is pretty tragic that a tabloid can change a person so much. After hating all these new things does she even have a new love for anything else. Seems like she has absorbed all the hate, anger, and misinformation while not absorbing anything of real value. Although I am against illegal immigration, I know there is a difference between illegal and legal (I don't group them all together). I am supposing she was a legal immigrants (remind her there are legal immigrants that contribute to the society not just the "evil" illegal immigrants). I realize immigration is a little different issue between the USA and UK but there are some similarities. Perhaps you should remind her about her past more then she might put two and two together.
