When folks talks about how "they" did this and that, the "they" are all 90 years old or already dead. "They" now are new people, just like we Americans aren't the same folks who fought WWII either, or our War Between the States for that matter although you'll have a hard time getting a lot of folks to believe that.
In South Africa the descendants of the Boers still don't like families whose ancestors were "joiners", i.e. sympathized with the British in the Boer War.
Time passes and the sins of a generation shouldn't be blamed on the next one.
Although I still hate the f*cking Huguenots!
