“Life is amazing always give thanks no matter what” snapchats DJ Khaled as he jet skis off into the sunset (Khaled). This is something that I find to be inspirational. I find inspiration in these words from DJ Khaled because what he is saying is true, life is amazing and no matter what happens in our lives we should always give thanks.

This issue is seen not only through the parents of Millennials, but also through the critics of TV shows. People are now beginning to question how authentic people and TV shows really are. In a new TV show called Fresh Off the Boat, one of the main characters, Constance Wu, gets interviewed by TIME Magazine and talks about the authenticity of the show.

This then makes me realize that many of these Millennials parents stereotype rappers like DJ Khaled based off of what they see rappers to be. And based off of many of their ideas of a stereotypical rapper they then would never consider rappers to be role models. Many parents immediately stick DJ Khaled into a box once they find out he’s a rapper because they already have preconceived ideas about him based off of their knowledge of rappers. They can see his humorous side because a majority of the time they’ll think that doesn’t fit their profile of what they see rappers as. Parents can’t understand or relate to the type of humor he uses because honestly it’s aimed towards Millennial aged generations. He uses his Snapchat in a humorous way that attracts the attention of Millennials and as for the parents many of they won’t be able to look past the fact that he’s a rapper based on their ideas of what and who they think rappers
