This is racism that's been festering forever. The Boomers couldn't let it go and passed it on. ~~Greatest generation my ass~~

The greatest generation are the guys who fought WW1. They called the boomers the "me" generation, lmao.

Just a heads up, that's not another term for Baby Boomer and has never been associated with them. The Greatest Generation were born between 1901 and 1927. Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. And there's an entire generation, appropriately called the Silent Generation, separating them.
