I think that these (most, anyway) are fairly characteristic of anyone who has had the opportunity to grow up in a particular social/economical class.

I also find that such personality traits are not limited to the Millennial generation...

To be fair, I am a millennial, I grew up under particular circumstances, but as a whole, and again, perhaps I am looking at this from a limited perspective, but I don't think all these apply. At least not to the majority. Perhaps I am not very aware of my contemporaries.

It doesn't characterize everyone in that generation, and there are narcissists in every generation, sure. But I think it captures the essence of the victimhood/entitlement attitude we're seeing at American universities with students protesting speakers, making demands, seeking to punish microaggressions, etc.

Some of this is perhaps youth in general, and it could well be a matter of economic or class privilege because this seems to happen most frequently at prestigious universities. I work at a "poor" university, and no one protests anything because they're too busy trying to make it through school while paying rent and often tuition out-of-pocket and sometimes caring for small children or aging parents at the same time.

I'm with you on this. I've seen this more out of prestigious and "rich" universities where the student populace is rich and entitled and a bunch of whiny rich prats.

Meanwhile, I -WENT- to a "poor" RURAL university, where people really didn't protest because we had to make it through school while trying to make ends meet. If we wanted something to change, WE worked to make the change. Students wanted a group for LGBT+ students? We found a professor to sponsor us and formed the group ourselves and got the paperwork to make it an official campus group. We didn't bitch and whine that we were being oppressed. We worked our butts off to get our own group.
