hating a group for any other reason. Hating blacks, hating seniors, hating hispanics, hating "food stampers" (poor people), whatever.

Hating a group because of the actions of some of the group is the definition of prejudice.

I work for wealthy lawyers. They worked very hard to get where they are. I don't begrudge them that, and I certainly don't envy them. I could've gone to post-secondary school and logged up tons of debt for 7 years. But I didn't. So I don't earn the same kind of money.

I'm not jealous of people with money. If people can succeed and make money from working hard, or even inheriting it, more power to 'em. I especially admire people who made their wealth themselves.
