But honestly, I'm surrounded mostly by lazy, arrogant, narrow-minded people, and I'm not interested in telling it like it is.
The only growing trend I can write positively about is growing tolerance between races. And that's it.
I could be missing something. If I am, please tell me. I only need one more positively quality about the youth of this culture. Bonus points for something definitive.

Tolerance? Horseshit. More like people keeping their mouths shut on their racism because they don't want to get beat down for it. Nothing's really changed. Especially in the South. Some guy in my Classical Greek History class was bitching about how his apartment building had a lot more "coloreds" (Yes, he did say 'coloreds') than he was expecting. Fucking prick. A person is a fucking person, no matter what.
The only thing I could really say is that the youth of today are far less ignorant about the rest of the world (could be good or bad, we'll see when they get into power) than say the current ruling generation (say 50 years old-Cold War era) when they were young.
