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?

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.

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.
