"Old school"... well, I guess a lot of old schools WERE segregated...

Not just a racist, but a coward who only has enough shame to not say it out loud but not enough to reconsider the whole situation.

If this guy is in his 50s, wouldn't that make him part of Gen-X? Born somewhere between 1965 and 1970. He grew up in the 80s. How "Old School" is this dude exactly?

"I want to retvrn to a time when men had ill fitted suits and big shoulder pads, and the girlies had big hair and worked out in a leotard worn over long leggings in contrasting neon colors! A time when men could wear 3in inseam shorts in the summer, and no one'd think you were gay!"

Yes exactly. And, a time when you could feel racially progressive while simultaneously upholding economic apartheid. A time when white people were having fun, and felt their privileges were given fairly based on merit. That illusion has been thoroughly shattered unless you cling to increasingly unhinged conspiratorial worldviews

But you'd enjoy a well-fitted suit.

A lot of Xers that I knew when I was growing up as an old millennial become junior boomers upon their first experienced moment of relative privilege.
