Can Millennials handle a great movie like this?
Without being offend?
The IMDB message boards you either die a good poster,or live long enough to become the troll
Actually, I get the impression millennials can potentially handle it better than older people. To me it feels like the baby boomers are the ones constantly back tracking on their generation's best work and apologizing for not being "sensitive enough." I suppose they don't want to feel out of touch. But young people don't have that hang up, and can recognize that a movie like Trading Places was actually pretty pioneering in how it used humor to comment on the growing pains of race and class relations.
Not all millennials of course, and not all boomers are back tracking either. But it is a trend I'm noticing.

They "don't get offended as easy"? Whenever I see someone whining about something being insulting (or racist, or victim blaming, or sexist, or misogynist, or whatever), they're inevitably either a millennial, or a leftist. Most often, both. They whine and whine and whine like a damn Whinegizer bunny, being obnoxious, demanding the whole world to be a "safe space".
And the worst thing, they're getting offended about stuff that doesn't concern them at all. They're getting offended in proxy. Try writing about "African savages" or "Papuan cannibals" somewhere on the internet, and in a moment, there will be bunch of pampered, pasty-white millennial kids jumping up and down your back shouting "racism!" and demanding you apologize.
Sure, people who do that tend to be millennials, but that doesn't mean most millennials are like that.
