Millenials seem to be pretty much clueless, unaware of whats going on around them and totally self absorbed. They worry about themselves and nobody else.
I don't see them joining hate groups or being activists unless there's a payoff for them personally.
People always seem to forget that millennials are between the ages of 22 and 35 and have jobs. Just like any other generation, we have tolerant and intolerant people. We have some people who are losers and some who make $100K/yr or more.
My personal opinion: Millennials are more accepting of gays, minorities, mixed race relationships, and other religions compared to other age groups. However my age group does seems to have a problem with being accepting of people with differing political beliefs.

Poster unable to spell "Millennials" accuses others of being "clueless." The irony train has just pulled in to the station, should anyone else like to climb aboard.
Exactly. You'll find folks of all characteristics in any age group.
There is actually a distinct difference with regard to race and gender attitudes between Boomers and Millennials. That's because the legislation of the 60s very sharply differentiates US culture.
The late 60s through the mid 80s were the transition years. The United States prior to the 80s is practically a different planet from the US after the 80s.
However, I've come to realize over the last decade that even though we Boomers came of age during the transition years, we largely have not changed from the way we were raised on that "other planet" during the latter 40s through the mid 60s.
Boomers as a generation are actually very different from our Millennial children as a generation with regard to racial and gender attitudes.
Has anyone watched:
* Mad Men
* The Wire
* Hidden Figures (okay movie, good message)
* Forrest Gump
* American History X
* Stand And Deliver
* Boardwalk Empire
* The Sopranos
* The Deuce (Hey, HBO does a good period piece)
Or considered:
* Anything covering the Civil Rights Era
* Heard of ethnic minorities (or women for that manner) plight in the US before 1960
Or, you know, read any history or popular stories pre-1980?
So nah. The current generation is quite tolerant and policies popular among us reflect that.
Sure, there's still some sour grapes in the bunch but, overall, we're quite receptive to whatever someone is.
So... OP.... Wut?
Was High THAT uninformative when you went?
Ran track with Jesus maybe?
I'm a millennial (late 80s model, pre-soypoisoning), I would say it's uncertain whether other millennials are more or less tolerant overall compared to anyone else, BUT most millennials are definitively tolerant about very different things than previous generations.
Millennials are tolerant towards different cultures and races, etc the "PC" culture is something the typical millennial is extremely in tune with.
However, when it comes to things like different opinions than their own on subjects like borders, migration, sexual deviants, climate etc there is absolutely no tolerance.
Edit;
I believe the term "tolerance" has changed meaning, from tolerating different things to a special brand or a group of things to specifically tolerate.

LOL. Too true.
The concentration of dingbats on this site makes my head hurt.
All younger generations are impatient and want the world to change overnight. Probably no generation more than the Boomers in their day. I think the current crop of young people are frustrated and have a bitter streak but don't seem to have any sort of commonality of purpose or enthusiasm for getting organized for change. I hear a lot of whimpering -- and God knows they have things to complain about and organize themselves to change -- but I don't see a great deal of action. Apathy is not tolerance. I see docile people.
