You could have just said “rich people” to include all the shady ultra rich fuckers from all around the world.
This isn’t a gender, race, culture or religion problem, it’s a class problem.
I don’t think that’s entirely true. Yes, it’s a class problem, but race and gender are intertwined with class in advanced capitalist countries. When white men fail, they’re daring and courageous and bold for trying risky things. When it’s anyone else they’re stupid beneficiaries of nepotism - nepotism that’s bestowed onto them by other white men.
You need to advance your class analysis beyond just income. The reproduction of labor and racial colonization and imperialist superexploitation complicate the relations to the means of production beyond haves and havenots.
Could it be for once useful not to be completely divided? Sure, rich people use and have used race, sex and so on to gain and maintain power but rich people are also composed, even if not homogeneously distributed, of different races, genders and so on.
Pointing fingers at rich white man helps in the same way as point fingers at rich Jews. It helps nothing but hiding the valid criticism of the out of control system we live in behind a hateful division of society.

We are, in fact, completely divided in class society.
