"Cultural Appropriation"

[bennyboy]

What I don't like is people acting like all millennials are social justice warriors (the type that this thread is about, anyway.) In fact I don't like people ever saying any blanket statement about millennials because 95 percent of the time it's just whiny, stereotyping bullshit.

I wouldn't say that all millenials are annoying SJWs. . . but based on my experience, when I do come across a particularly annoying SJW, it's likely to be a millenial.

I think that's because older people have defined themselves by living their actual lives: I'm a teacher, a programmer, a father, a hobbyist musician etc.  I don't really have a lot of angst or insecurity about my identity. Some kid in college has what to define who they are?  Only the beliefs they care (and pretty arbitrarily, too) to lock onto, unless they are particularly mature.

And when I find an older SJW, I have to ask myself-- what is making this full-grown adult feel so empty inside that he has to validate himself by looking for ways to confront others, or to get approval by condescendingly championing a group of people who can express themselves perfectly well without him?
