While I think the rich are one of the most influential sources of it, I'm not convinced they're the only or even the majority. Like, of the rich stopped using bigotry to divide people, would people stop being bigoted? I don't think so at all. I think there's something wrong with humanity that makes it easy for bigotry to evolve even in the absence of power and perhaps worse, for people to want to be bigoted.

No matter if he can be believed or not on this fact the book is fun wiki
