  Almost. 5-10 years ago, they would be. In 5-10 years, they will almost certainly universally won't, and that's kind of part of my point; On one hand, yes, our "internal" debates on this type of stuff end up being very public, and as such, people who lean in strong directions become visible. But also, we tend to collectively adapt much quicker and much better. I'm pretty comfortable claiming that this will be the case based on my own experiences with friends and family. In college, I'd say about half of my black friends were pretty "homophobic" and exactly zero of those same people are still.

    Okay... So basically you're claim is to listen to black professionals at some uncertain point in the future at which they'll agree with you? That's very... Woke.

      My claim is (at this present time, due to recent historical circumstances, on balance, especially those older and in the professional world) black folks tend to be much wiser and "more adaptable" than their non-black counterparts. Furthermore, I'll claim that the homophobia et al that you see is actually the process of a people learning to deal with new circumstances (e.g. if you look at black comedy from the 90's, you'll see a lot of stuff that doesn't age well -- BUT that should be recognized as literally the opposite of "problematic" -- what that was was learning and adapting and growth."
