The whole study is rather useless in a social/moral aspect as it is based on what is and what isn't offensive and that is very subjective and nothing to do with science:

Research from the University of Queensland, Australia, showed the frontal lobe – which is involved in regulating our thoughts – gets smaller as we age.

This means elderly people may lose their ability to censor inappropriate thoughts, making them more likely to vocalise offensive viewpoints.

For example if an elderly black person drops the N-bomb thats seen as ok within their social milieu

But if 70 year old white person drops the N-bomb...well...watch out!
