Crap. Our great wealth may be the end of us. Looks like there may be too many millionaires and billionaires sitting around the house with nothing else to do but go out and prepare themselves for battle with the "others" that exist in the world in which they are no longer actually needed or an integral part of. Too many of our most wealthy citizens are the global version of that crotchety old dude at the end of the street that waits in ready at his window, ready to jump out and chase away those filthy little children that dare walk on his lawn. These people need to get a life and interact with and help real people.
If I'm criticizing rural America's lack of exposure to non-whites as a major contributor to xenophobia, I'm definitely calling out the elites for the issue(s) you've raised, and I'm looking in the mirror. I'm poor af, but I've managed to become somewhat out of touch with everyman. I still think people have had the wool pulled over their eyes, the trick is finding a way to point it out without upsetting the hornet's nest. Edit: oh, I know, I'll call them "sheeple" and yell as loud as I can without suggesting any reasonable course of action
