Wealthy people talking about economic inequality - no matter how valid your points - is going to stir trouble.
Its like men talking to women about sexism in the workplace, or able-bodied people talking about the abundance of disabled access everywhere, white people talking about racism against black people etc.
You don't have to be wrong, or have flaws in your reasoning, to make a socially naive commentary that is easily perceived as insensitive (regardless as to meaningful content).
- golemotron 11y agoThis is the legacy of political correctness and identity politics. We made this bed now we have to lay in it.
- jheriko 11y agoI refuse to lay in it! There is one type of correctness, it is called 'correctness' everything else, 'political correctness' included is a flavour of 'wrong'. Its also easy to overreact when you consider yourself to have been misjudged for poorly conveying a point. :)
