Classify the term "millennials" as Hate Speech

The Issue

The term "Millennials" is used on a daily basis in the media, both social and news, and is almost always used in a derogatory and/or demeaning fashion. It covers a wide swath of age groups with birth years from ~1980 through to the early 2000's, a large age range where the people from the 80's rarely have anything in common with those born in the early 2000's. This unfair generalization of a diverse population should be stopped.

Classifying "Millennials" as hate speech would aid in ending this discrimination.
