'We're tired of waiting': GenZ is ready for a revolution
GenZ is the most racially and ethnically diverse generation yet. According to Pew Research, only a slight majority (52%) of post-millennials are non-Hispanic white, compared to a larger majority (61%) for millennials 10 years earlier.Some experts suggested that GenZ is particularly accepting because of the way that diversity has been normalized within their generation since birth.
"This generation has grown up in a world that is considerably different than GenX, even Millennials. They've had friends, families, relationships with people who have been different than you based on whatever the difference is: socioeconomic, gender identity, and therefore, they've noticed that those friends and family members, even acquaintances are really no different than you as a generation. That is part of the reason they've been filled with so much empathy," John Della Volpe, director of polling at the Harvard Kennedy School's Institute of Politics, told CNN.
And while GenZers have grown up in an increasingly more diverse environment, they have also come of age amid political division and violence
