Generation Z provides Hope For The Country's Future

 

The charts above are from the Pew Research Center. They show some interesting things about the newest generation -- Generation Z.

The Reason Why There's Hope For The Future

I'm rather ashamed of the Silent and Baby Boomer generations. By preferring Republicans and clinging to discrimination, they have screwed up this country (and its economy).

Fortunately, there's hope for a much brighter future. That's because the younger generations, especially the Millennials and Generation Z, are much more liberal and much less discriminatory than the older generations.

These charts are from the Pew Research Center.

Gen Z/Millennials Are More Liberal Than Other Generations

The charts above are from the Pew Research Center. They questioned 11,602 people in the five different generations (Silent, Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z). Note that each generation is more liberal in general than the one that came before it -- and the most liberal generations of all are the Millennials and Gen Z.

Gen. Z's Opinion On Who is Discriminated Against In U.S.

I found this chart interesting. It is from the Public Religion Research Institute. They asked a random sample of 2,023 members of generation Z (aged 15 through 24) which groups they thought were the most discriminated against in the United States. The results are shown in the chart above. The methodology is here.

One of the interesting aspects is that, like their elders, young Whites are the least likely to see discrimination in most groups. Could it be that those who don't experience discrimination find it the hardest to recognize it when it happens to others?
