Millennials when old

You know I have debated how 'diverse' millennials really are and I must confess, having come from Britain, they don't exactly live what they preach. They prefer to self segregate although stick with the propaganda that diversity is good. They have the odd non-white friend in the group but usually live in their own majority communities.

Not sure what it is like in America of course but that seemingly seems to be the trend in the UK. It's kind of like an invisible apartheid the more I think about it.

Also I wouldn't say millennials are better informed. Most of them went to predominantly left wing universities and were told was is good and what is bad so they believe it. I tend to find that the Zoomers are better informed if I am honest and they are more centrist inclined with their views...

Millennials are certainly diverse in the demographic sense, whatever you may experience in Britain about what they preach. You have many cultural influences from places you have lived, apparently. Most people here like me have an American frame of reference. I can't debate you about what people in Britain and Russia think too well. I already posted the Pew surveys about what American Millennials and Gen Zers as Pew calls them (and we do not) think, and both groups are identical in their views and lean strongly left.

Going to a "left wing university," as conservatives call them, certainly means they are more well-informed. Millennials in general whether in college or not do have information about subjects that concern them, such as the poor opportunities they face, and climate change, guns and other threats to their future. Obviously you are not well-informed on climate change. You think the energy-system changes proposed necessarily mean cutbacks in our lifestyle and our economy.
