Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You're exactly right - the problem is that the people who always talk about the good old days are the ones who are yearning for a more white and more male world. And they don't really care that those days weren't good because of the whiteness and maleness; they were good because unions were strong and taxes on the rich were high, etc. which bolstered and strengthened the middle class.
You've nailed the part where people (including people in this thread) are talking past each other. I'll repeat it for those in the back:
We can have both.
