DO YOU CARE?

[Cracker]

As for "good" elitism, such a notion is inconsistent with reality, which is that elitism breeds contempt for those deemed to be "lower", leading to all manner of abuses and exploitation.

I don't think that has to be true. There are many privileged persons who don't hold less-privileged in contempt. The Kennedys spring to mind.

If you are among the richest 2% of the world, do you have to hang in the slums to prove you are not discriminating?

I don't hate all poor people because they are poor. I know a few, I won't pretend it is many, people who are impoverished because of a stupid choice or two they made in life. I don't want to join them. Is that discrimination? I don't think so.
