Phrase used in DTH article was offensive to the aged

TO THE EDITOR:

I fail to see the significance of your reference to the mainly white-haired residents"" who were protesting the increased property valuations (""Residents protest taxes"" March 4). Just what were you trying to insinuate by this?

Are people with white hair not supposed to be out protesting?

Should they be home in their rocking chairs? I'm curious …

And Evan Rose: should you be so fortunate as to live so long, you might find yourself to be one of those white-hairs"" — or even a no-hair!
