>..these white, entitled, racist Oxford snobs have been ruining the world for 179 years. Can you expand on what you mean by this?

  The Economist was founded in 1843, and the article goes to great lengths to paint the writers and editors of the magazine throughout its history as not merely wrong on matters of policy, but personally privileged and bigoted.

    It doesn't seem odd to you to bring race into it? It reads like something from Stormfront, with races swapped.

      I didn't bring race into it, the article did: > The staff, predominantly white, is recruited overwhelmingly from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and a disproportionate number of the most important editors have come from just one Oxford college, Magdalen.

        Your quote: "except that these white, entitled, racist Oxford snobs have been ruining the world for 179 years." ...reads a bit different.
