Stereotype much?

I have 4 millennials - 2 male, 2 female. They all have tools, they all fix
things, they all live on their own, they all have jobs - and did even while
getting their degrees. They vote their conscience and they deal with the
results of their choices.

They hang out with other millennials that have tools, fix things, live on
their own, have jobs, vote their conscience and deal with the results of
their choices.

If they had pizza (or play-doe (sic)) this week, it was because they wanted
it and paid for it.

It's interesting that that group of millennials never gets any coverage.

I wonder if the same thing happens to other groups of people besides
millennials. I wonder if there are other people that suffer from being
stereotyped just because they are a member of a certain "group". Nah,
that doesn't happen. Not at all.

I have 3 millennial adult children, myself, who also aren't out there
whining and in need of play dough, counseling, or a day off just because
their candidate didn't win.

It's sad that there are actually enough of the whiny millennials that
they are beginning to give an entire generation a black eye.

That's what everyone who stereotypes an entire group always uses as an
excuse.

"Well, I didn't mean *them*. They're OK, it's the *rest* of them that I
was talking about. You knew what I meant."

No, I only know what you *said*.

I don't have issues with stereotyping groups of people because I know
that any stereotype has exceptions. It's a given... as in, my grown
adult children are millennials, BUT they don't fit the stereotype
represented in the video. I don't see that as a problem, but you
obviously took offense to it.

"Well, I didn't mean *them*. They're OK, it's the *rest* of them that I
was talking about. You knew what I meant."

That's how many people communicate. I just accept it.

No, I only know what you *said*.

You could have just asked if I meant to include everyone. I really
don't think it's necessary to explain the obvious, but I will. I'm
sorry what I said offended you. It wasn't meant to do so.

There was nothing "personal" about my response. I merely used my kids as
an example to show that she was stereotyping. I also mentioned their friends
- who I have no real personal connection to - and she used her own kids to
disprove her own comments.

Had she she said "Blacks are welfare thieves, Muslims are terrorists or
Jews are cheap, I would have responded with (basically) the same comments
and they wouldn't have been personal either.

It does apply to a large percentage
but like all generalizations there are exceptions.

When those generalizations result in stereotyping an entire group of people,
they shouldn't be used.

Show your post to your own millennials and ask them if they think it's a big

I have three of 6 grandkids in that age group. Of the 3, the definition
fits one of them. Am I insulted about the stereotyping? Hell no, I'm
smart enough to know there are always exception.

I was a teenager in the 60's. To many, it was an era of free love and
flower children using drugs. None of that fit me, While some of my
classmates smoked weed, I bought a house and married at 20.

Every generation has its title and stereotyping but to be offended, IMO,
is being overly sensitive. Living in New England a lot of people think
I must be a Patriots fan. In 35 years here, I've never watched a Pats
game. From watching TV I can name two players though.

Why do you continue to use words like personal, insulted and offended?

She stereotyped a specific group and I pointed it out. What makes you think I feel
insulted or offended? I can assure you that I do not feel any of those.

It doesn't sound like you are insulted/offended if someone thinks you are a Pats
fan, it sounds like you simply say they are wrong. In this case, it's the same for me.

A LARGE part of the reason MANY millemials have no idea how to
repair homes is they HAVE NEVER BEEN TAUGHT.
Technical and vocational training has virtually dissappeared from the
public education system in North America.. The educational systewm has
been stronly slanted towaers "sliding them in" to college programs to
learn either the "liberal arts" or "digital world" subjects that just
MIGHT give them a leg up in the "service sector" jobs that have all
but replaced the manufacturing anf manual technology jobs of the past.

Add top that the FACT that much of the educational system in the USA
is well beyond being "broken" and the average attention span has been
reduced to somewhere just barely north of 3 minutes - (again - mabee
over-generalizing - but I WAS one of those technical training
instructors(in one of the better "school districts" or "boards" in
Ontario - which was a sort of "beacon" in the tech education system in
North America) WAY back before these millenials were the proverbial
"spark in their daddies' eyes" - and the trend was already starting -
with de-streaming, the "new math" curriculum, and the "no kid left
behind" mentality just poking it's way into the secondary school
sytem.

By the time I returned to Canada afterr teaching 2 years abroad, I
had no interest in returning to the classroom under the new direction.

Add to that the FACT that the parents of many of these millenials are
those who were "not allowed to fail" in the eighties and nineties, and
therefore do not have the skills to pass on th their (millenial)
offspring, and you have most of "the rest of the story"

The educational system in North America - and certain parts of the USA
in particular, has TOTALLY let down the young folks of America.

To Mr Trump - I say GOOD LUCK "Making America Great Again".

Even IF he succeeds in forcing manufacturing jobs back to America, it
will take another TWO GENERATIONS to get the workforce back to the
level of manufacturing competence that existed 30 years ago.

The number of bodies (hopefully with brains attached) required to run
a manufacturing enterprise today is down from 30 - 60% from 35 years
ago due in no small part to automation..Assembly quality is up by
roughly the same percentage.

Manufacturing will have to be restored to the responsibility of
engineers instead of accountants and stock traders if actual product
quality is going to approach the levels of the past - and workers are
going to need to settle for lower wage expectations. Meanwhile
Americans (and Canadians, and everybody else) are going to have to be
willing to "pony up" and pay the price.

I's going to take more than a week's payuchecque to buy a new TV, and
a years wages to buy a new car.

Also, To have a viable "localized" manufacturing culture, you are
going to have LESS CHOICE, and You will need to choose between quality
goods that last a long time at high prices due to limitted production
(dictated by low demand) or a lot of cheap crap that needs to be
replaced often to keep the volume of manufacturing high enough to keep
the workers busy,

CANNOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.

We've had this discussion with our 3 millennials, and they agree that
the stereotype is true. They, like many people, realize that any
stereotype has exceptions.
