@JustinDerrick @Daojoan I believe it’s a bit more complex than that. Personality types play a strong part too. There are many rich, well educated people who are also racist & misogynistic. They might just live in social groups where they learn how to hide it.

@Muiris @JustinDerrick @Daojoan ingroup favoritism is strong there...

The smart wealthy people mostly fear loss of something...

Besides...smart doesnt mean "good at everything" forget that "the big bang theory" propaganda...

@Muiris @Daojoan I'm speaking in general -- where people who don't feel threatened that someone else's success will come at a cost of their own.

In the current economic climate, most people are struggling, and politicians abuse this to fan the flames of all the forms of hatred.
