Exactly.
There's nothing you can do or say to a person in a situation like that except to do what Trigg did and walk away. Old people just come from a time and place where racism was widely accepted as normal behavior.
I've always thought of it as a pretty lame excuse for the behavior, though : Just because you come from a time and place where something that is entirely disgusting was openly embraced doesn't make the practice itself any less disgusting, and it doesn't excuse you from lowering yourself to it's level, either.
Be an individual, not part of the crowd. Or in other words....
