The parent is a response to the GP calling out Ackman as a “white guy”.

This white-bashing has become so pervasive and accepted that people don’t even notice it anymore. I’m a brown, recent immigrant so probably more likely to notice.

Substitute any other group in place of “white guy” and it’s a major faux pas. The double standard is mind-boggling.

You could reply to my post with “OK Boomer”, and it’d fit. :)

(Except I’m not really that old yet).

P.S. I specifically said rich white guy.

But he's not even ethnically White. And it wouldn't justify your subtly racist jab at White people anyway.

No.

I love how you call me, a white guy, a racist towards another white guy.

Or are you implying that “rich” is a race of its own now?

[FruityCoconut]

Sadly, that's quite common.

Don't be obtuse. This has nothing to do with the 'rich' part.

I wonder if you would make the same disparaging comment now that you know Ackman is not White: "yet-another-rich-jewish-guy..."

I suspect not.

[sebastien_b]

I honestly had to look it up, because I always thought "Jewish" referred to religion (and there still seems to be questions of whether it still can refer to race or not these days).

Regardless, looking at his picture, anyone could be forgiven for assuming he is "White".

I guess I'll leave out any semblance of race in my "rich guys" comments, lest I upset the snowflakes.

Fair enough, your generation was not this obsessed with groups and identify.

Those not on the left weren’t either, but we’re policed so much by the SJWs that we are just punching back.
