I’ve heard it explained that “hey” used to be more of an urgent way to get someone’s attention, rather than a casual “hello” like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.

      That’s just deflecting because you have nothing of substance to offer in response. You are a bigot. You are callous. Those are not good traits. Decent people don’t have to tolerate people who embrace those traits and act on them publicly.
