This phenomenon is definitely not unique to the US, same as promoting far right politics. Capitalists love it when the plebs rage at marginalized minorities instead of trying to kick rich people's asses.
I don't know, at least in Germany it seems the better off but not super rich people (like earning a good salary, but no huge assets) aren't so obsessed with turning every move they make into $$$, as the Americans I've met so far. Everything feels calculated with these guys, and it's a big turn off for me.
But yes, the super rich people are assholes everywhere and try to play out people against minorities
