Because that has to be one of the weakest, most meaningless possible lines of dialogue you could possibly use. An event occuring at a point in time is completely irrelevant to its moral status. I thought when people say things like that, it's meant to evoke the message that someone's idea is seriously outdated.

For example, racism. We're in 2016, almost 2017, there's been countless movements of varying size and impact promoting equality, the newer generations are becoming more and more accepting of other races while others start acknowledging the fact that the differences are cosmetic at best........and yet there's still some guy with racist values that feel more at home in the XVth century.

I say it's a pretty valid argument. Being so outdated in mentality and unwilling to change one's views and values even after sooo long, after so much cultural progression, it's pretty bad to say the least.
