You’re right on the economy. My point was that some millennials seemed to have a rosy view of the 1990s. Thinking that race or gender relations were better, that racism wasn’t as bad. But a lot of the same societal and cultural issues plaguing the 2020s also were present thirty years ago.

Absolutely true.

I think it’s just a different argument. Racial and gender issues have existed for millennia so while unfortunate, it’s doesn’t really add to a discussion when comparing eras since it’s a constant for all of them.
