I think being upper class or rich (especially those that inherit wealth) is more the form of privilege existing in the western world today. And has been for centuries. I also think racial divides are being promoted and exploited by the 1% to obscure the gross injustice of class issues. The demonizing of white men is being pushed from above and there are those among nonwhites (and especially white leftists) that are all too eager to run with it. The old "divide and conquer" tactic, 21st century version. I myself am working class, hetero male and not white.

@theAlchemist Very well put! In the end money talks more than race or background. While old biases will still float around money is a HUGE equalizer.

@HijabiHomegirl money certainly helps equalize.
