yeah I have to be honest, I read that article and the citations to his bad behaviour and while he does seem to have a habit of making inappropriate jokes (about women "not being allowed" in 70s programming for example) he made a public apology about it and clearly realises it's a bad habit. People make mistakes, especially if they were raised in a different era but we should be grateful that he apologised for it.

I don't think "being a boomer" makes somebody a sexist and racist.
