Older AA'rs often had very tough upbringings and grew up in a world before political correctness. I would kind of be forgiving /understanding of that for the most part.

I liked the anecdote frequently related by a long term AA member in my area, who related a a conversation with another, long since deceased AA member who taught him the AA ropes:

"Can you count to one?"

"I think I can manage that"

"Good. In that case, go to one meeting, get one sponsor and don't pick up one drink. Just for today."
