I was using millenials as a contrast to asians because they are the first US generation which grew up without being immersed in WW2 culture. Asians are still marinating in it, nothing against millenials for that.

My parents lived through it, grandparents fought in it, and many of the movies, TV shows, and toys of my youth were WW2 themed. So I grew up hearing the stories first-hand, and Germans and Japanese were in the bad guy category, same as the outlaws in the westerns.
