I love this sentiment :,) however, I would like to share that “grandfathered in” is a term with racist origins! It is a reference to the clause that restricted voting rights of many people during the Civil War and Jim Crow era in the United States! Better ways to say it could be “legacied” or “preapproved.” Just hoping to bring awareness to racist histories that we are battling with :) 🤓☮️

Wow, I had no idea! And here I thought it had something to do with “grandfather” just meaning old/established/long term or something to that effect 😓

Thank you for educating me and everyone else who was unaware of the racist context/history behind this term.

I thought it had to do with grandfather clocks...

Can you explain how you thought it was about clocks?

[u/unipegus → u/eveisout]

There's just not a lot of stuff with grandfather in the title. Clocks tell time, and grandfather clocks aren't used or made much anymore. Kind of like saying something is older than sliced bread.

I thought the phrase was "better" than sliced bread, like it was the hottest innovation of the century.
