I work with older people and I have found it to be a trend that a lot of older people are sometimes openly racist. I was recently told that a patient I had just started caring for has asked for a white caregiver, and the family was shocked apparently because they said this woman never said anything like that before (to them..). Are people just dropping filters and revealing themselves or do you think that with some patients it changes to be exaggerated, maybe with things like dementia involved?

I have definitely noticed this among some patients with dementia. Sometimes it comes up after they get to a certain point. Not necessarily aggressive, just openly offensive.

I know of a priest that would swear and be aggressive sexually, it’s like they get flipped to another character with dementia(some of them)

Mmmm it’s hard to say. I know mental changes come with memory issues. Sometimes I think some elderly people are also revealing themselves no filter. Some believe they’ve earned it. I had a client that was always talking about white people this, that, or the other. This person was A&O and what it came down to was the experiences as a black person during 40s,50s, 60s. . .
