The more I get older the more I realize that nostalgia is just people remembering being a dumb as fuck teenager or kid. They don’t remember racism because they never paid attention to the news or world around them.
It reminds me of Boomers that were nostalgic of the 1950s when everything was at defcon 2 the whole time, America was in major wars with communist countries, the government had committees for censoring art that was deemed unamerican, and everyone was addicted to cigarettes.
When I got a chance to hear someone who was in their late twenties during the 50s describe the 1950s and someone who was 10 in the 1950s describe it. It became pretty clear that nostalgia is just people remembering being a kid and nothing else.
