Do you mean the people profiting are white boomers? Many are generation X. Some are millennials.

    I bet you wouldn't make such a sweeping statement about a racial minority. The percentage of boomers (like me) who vote for progressive policies is pretty large, though not a majority. It's not that dissimilar from GenX and millennials.

    I bet you wouldn't believe the amount of sweeping statements made to my face about racial minorities by white boomers

    I bet I would, but I also bet it's not all boomers making those statements (older than early 70s are Silents, younger than mid 50s are GenX). I also don't believe that it's okay to engage in sweeping stereotypes just because other people engage in sweeping stereotypes.
