If they are from the US, it's probably that leading republican candidates don't see Russia waging war on a democratic country as a problem.
How nothing got better and people like killing children in the school system as sport. Oh, and ask this person what pronouns they want for their identity.
Christine Jorgensen began transitioning in the early twenties and was a pretty major celebrity. When the Nazis took power some of the Authors they attacked were sexologists. Trans issues weren't something completely alien to them, they probably wouldn't take asking them their pronouns well but it wouldn't be hard to explain.
A significant chunk of Americans support Russia over their own country and are actually opposed to the US providing aid to a country being attacked by Russia. I mean, I guess they had the Red Scare, but this is more Americans opposed to Left-leaning politics who support Russia's authoritarianism.

Brown v. Board of Education was filed in 1951, and decided in 1954. The desegregation movement was well underway. Some folks from that era might not be happy that segregation went away, but I don't imagine too many would be surprised.

If it was the early 1950's, then: Black people and white people can use the same facilities. There aren't "black bathrooms" and "white bathrooms." There aren't separate water fountains depending on the color of your skin.
Segregation was still around a mere 70 years ago.
Were Americans in the 50's as surprised when they travelled abroad?
