The Permissibility of Mocking Older White Men

In the podcast, guest Matthew Parris discusses the social acceptance of ridiculing older white men compared to other protected groups like LGBTQ+ individuals. Parris highlights the lack of defensive measures against ageist remarks towards older white men and the perception that mocking them is not considered as offensive. He points out the humor and frailties associated with old age that contribute to the acceptance of ageism, suggesting that poking fun at older white men is viewed differently from other groups.
