Kim: Beautiful millennials 'don't have a strong work ethic'




Move over, NPR! Kim Kardashian has been newly anointed by San Francisco's revered Commonwealth Club (despite the required bellyaching). The 112-year-old club, which calls itself the nation's oldest and largest public affairs program, tapped moderator Judge LaDoris Cordell to ask Kim all sorts of things on Tuesday night. Here are five key takeaways from their talk:

1. It really wasn't the deepest of conversations.


"Kardashian did discuss the key topics, and others, during an hour-long appearance before an adoring audience that was mostly young and female," writes The Associated Press. "But the mild questions she was asked, first by a retired state judge who served as interviewer and then by audience members via Twitter, elicited few deep answers."

2.  How does Kim explain her 33 million Twitter followers and roughly 38 million Instagram followers?



"Maybe it's the bikini selfies," she said. "I think I definitely overshare, but I'm really engaged."

3. The convo got real, briefly.



The Q&A became more serious when Cordell, the first African American female judge appointed to the bench in Northern California, asked the pregnant reality star how she and Kanye planned to protect their biracial children from discrimination. Kim revealed she made a difficult decision not to engage with a fellow airline passenger who screamed profanity and racial comments at her while she was traveling with North.
Kanye "is very vocal about racial issues," she said. "Our communication, I think, will be really helpful for our children."

4. Question of the night: Is realistic for young girls to be successful in a man's world?



We should remember Kim's made major millions from her makeup, hair care, perfume, and clothing lines.  And you know, that APP.
"There is this generation of young people — girls — who are beautiful but don't have a strong work ethic," said Kim. "People sometimes think that with looks things will be easy, But I just encourage people to put in the work."

5. Finally -- how are the Kardashian-Jenners coping with Caitlyn's transition?



Kim said her family is attending group therapy and "everybody has their own transition to accept and support this."
