America's Idiot Rich

[hfojvt]

36. I was calling you nothing in post #9

since I didn't write it. I merely translated it as I understood it.

But on the matter of racism and prejudice. The OP said

"the wealthy ... are the victims of widespread prejudice akin to that faced by ethnic minorities."

well, the "widespread prejudice akin to that faced by minorites" sounds like racism to me. Thus, your citing this OP and the applause it generated as evidence that the wealthy really do face "widespread prejudice akin to that faced by ethnic minorities." Seems to fall flat since the damage from this OP is nowhere near the damage to the lives of ethnic minorities due to discrimination.

However, it is also clear that a post which was titled "America's idiot black people" would not be tolerate, would not be considered mostly harmless by a jury of DUers. But that is likely because, as a group they experience real harm due to the prejudice of others and contributing to that, even in a small way, should not be tolerated. Whereas the rich do not experience real harm due to the prejudice of some of the canaille and this OP has about the same impact on them as a dandylion seed hitting the side of a battleship in a 10 mph wind.
