Pride is not the word I'm looking for

[soc_puppet]

Right now, my cishet white baby boomer father is in a Zoom meeting with various community leaders, talking about the history of redlining, how saying "all lives matter" is dismissive of the concerns of Black Lives Matter, and how his Irish immigrant ancestors failed at supporting BIPOC when Irish people became more accepted as "white", and more.

Now that's what I call an Okay Boomer.

Edit: Shoutout also to my mom, who is also a Boomer, and while she is less active, she is every bit the progressive my dad is.

I may not have gotten the ultra-super-mega jackpot in the parental lottery, but I definitely at least got some of the runners-up.

You should definitely send him a whole box of cookies.

I actually live with my parents, so I had the unique pleasure of telling him to his face that the internet thinks he's an Okay Boomer. (He was very amused.)
