So...it’s better that lots of other folks get help from the U.S. government? Pretty sure I’d rather someone get help from parents than a bunch of people I’ve never met before.

Why is “white” important in the headline? It is considered wrong to point out race ... specifically if it implies some kind of ddeficiency Or does that dictum only go one way?

We make it easier for them to get into colleges - lowering admission standards quite significantly. We give them most of the scholarships. What now? Should we just hand them cash?

Well.. Shit.. I apologize for being a white male... I do that a lot on this site..

The thing is, though there is undoubtedly an element of white privilege in this, the majority of white millennials still don’t get this sort of advantage. I’m looking at this thinking, “wow, would have been nice to have some of this.”

Thank you for painting all white people into the same box. Not only do I not get any financial help from my extremely traditional Russian parents but thanks to your publication, my outward physical appearance will convince strangers that I'm likely more wealthy than average thanks to mommy and daddy.

what’s the problem here? should the government throw more money at ugly minorities? whites have a better command of the world around them. whoop-de-doo. blacks and hispanics are gross anyway they’ll get weeded out (or diluted into) the white gene pool eventually. work your goddamn second job and shut the fuck up about…

Nice racist clickbait headline. Jezebel continues its long and hallowed tradition of posting pure crap.

From what I’ve seen, millennials are about 5-7 years behind the curve in terms of maturity compared to recent generations. A typical 25-year-old millennial is about where I was at 19 or 20.

they got to recognize, excuse me while I bitch about informal help and discuss the differences between formal and informal help. they could go to the paid networking event and pay their cell phone while the poc has a different number every week it seems like and couldn’t pay for their networking even because their…

So what?

The article’s implication that this is something specific to white people or millennials is tendentious. Most families that can, do this. And there are plenty of white families who can’t do this for their children, millennials or not. In fact, most white families don’t do formal support like trust funds and estates…

Parents busting their ass for the benefit of their kids. What a novel concept. I can’t wait to be able to help my kids through college and help them buy their first house. And I’m more than glad to work 75 hrs a week to make sure this happens.

This is easily the most useless article yet on kinja, and of course its on jezebel. Not news, not important, not interesting, poorly written.

If that is one of your least favorite things in the world... talk about “first world problems.”

Someone who got a ride to UVA ($60,o00 a year) complaining about white privilege.

Is there a greater point to this article? Seriously, I’m just wondering.

So? Some people got a better deal than others. Life’s tough and unfair.

I’m at the point where my parents are so broke using their line of credit towards me and my sisters tuition, that they little to no $$$ in their retired savings account. I’m pretty much stuck into paying them after they retire until they pass away.
