I feel like white Gen X and Black Gen X are so vastly different that people should specify which group they are talking about.
Gen X is definitely one of the generations where that distinction matters.
Generations after the 80's are a bit more mixed but not as much as one would think either.

The “Gen X watched the Challenger Shuttle Explosion as Kids” is Gen X trying to get street cred they didn’t earn to keep up with “Millenials saw 9/11 live in school” because Gen Xers have the worst imposter syndrome
