The variables are interesting there. What if he landed a spacecraft on a comet but did so whilst in blackface?

Does successfully landing a spacecraft make you untouchable, I mean. I think the furore around his shirt was misplaced tbh, but the counter-furore in favour of him was also misplaced

Reminds me of that news story from a few years ago about the Canadian family who wanted to live in 1986, and wouldn't allow any recent technology, fashion, etc into their home. Like, if you're gonna take an anti-new-tech (assuming that's what this is) idealizing 1980s technology is all kinds of perverse.

perhaps. but growing up in the decade of the 1960s (ages 5 through 15) television was jamcrammed with cartoons and movies from the 1930s and 40s, so that as an 8 year old I could easily identify oldster celebrities like Jimmy Durante, Jerry Colona, Bing Crosby, Boris Karloff, Rudy Vallee, or the Marx Brothers. At age 10 I'd seen such outdated fare as Wild Boys of the Road, I Was a Fugitive from a Chain Gang, or Boys Town.

Personally, I'm uncertain how to address cultural literacy with children, because there is JUST. SO. MUCH. CULTURE. I try to resist the urge to oversteep them in things that happened to be important to ME in my antediluvian childhood.
http://www.theonion.com/article/cool-dad-raising-daughter-on-media-that-will-put-h-26132
My own personal parents hit me over the head repeatedly with the cultural signifiers of their upbringing, to the exclusion of the many fine things that came before, things that came after, and things they didn't happen to dig. So, like many of my contemporaries, I knew as much about the Beatles as the most ardent Beatlemaniac - but I needed to go out of my way to specifically seek out knowledge of Brahms, Billie Holiday, the Clash.
If I wish to present a diverse spectrum of culture to my children, I feel some responsibility to avoid over-representing the ephemeral 80s culture that formed my worldview, but also avoid leaving out those ephemera entirely.
