Is it normal to hate rich whites?

I live in a school mainly brought up of hispanics and asians. Colored practically. I notice that everyone feels inferior to the rich whites that pass by our school and laugh at the ghetto lower class. Of course everyone in the school says that they hate when some rich whites act like that and they hate them but i know whats truely going on in their heads. They hate that they see them as prettier, richer, and happier but i know that is completely false. ANy culture can be beautiful. ITs suprising on how much negativity im surrounded in. Is it normal to hate the rich or just except what you have and know that their better? And do i feel this way to?

    Hey, Im a hispanic who grew up in a white neighborhood. The whites never talk down about the lower classes. Its always my cousins, my brother, and the wannabe gangster's talking shit about the whites. Shut up already. Your not sitting at the back of the bus anymore, put a damn shirt on and get an education.

  • They are not better than you or anybody no matter what they think about themselves or what other people think of them.

    I don't think they should be judged so harshly even if it seems like "all" of them judge you or other less fortunate people. There may also be a chance that a few of those rich kids probably don't like being around that type of people and would be more happier living a normal life like you and me

      I'm white and reasonably well off, but I don't think this make me a bitch worthy of your loathing. I didn't chose my skin color or what class to be born into, and it's not my fault there are ghettos or class differences or racism. The white men who lived 200 years ago ARE responsible for slavery, the white upper-middle class people who are against health care reform and the raising of taxes ARE facilitating the perpetuation of social inequalities, and the white store owner who doesn't hire a black man because he is black IS racist. However, the entire white community of today is not at fault, and resenting everyone with a certain skin color is narrow-minded and.. Well, essentially, racist.

    Also ur gonna dislike some people no matter who u are. I dislike people who feel sorry for themselves. They have what it takes to make life better but instead they want to complain.

    The best thing to do is ignore them. When we moved from europe in 88, we came with only $300. We were hated on because of where we came from. But my father overcame that. You can't hate people who have some money, because u don't know their life story. U don't know how hard their father worked for that wealth. And we were raised to be modest and not flashy. Ur just gonna feel sorry for ur self. Look at these rappers and rocksingers. They just over do it. They flash everything. Cause they weren't taught right. But they still deserve their money cause they sing and people like their music. Whatever works for them. Hope this helped.

    i just wanna say that as long as you work hard to earn your money whether you're rich or poor then all the power to you. it's the spoiled rich kids that are so money obsessed and blinded by all of their fancy shiny things that they don't give a shit about anything or anyone else. just let them live in their fantasy world where money grows on trees and live your life the way you want to. they are humans also which doesn't make them anything superior to you.

    I'm white, come from a very wealthy family, but have never looked down on anyone no matter what ethnicity or color. I used to drive to the ghetto of Cleveland to play basketball with all the guys down there. Nicest and coolest group of guys I ever knew. The only white rich people that make fun of you are duschbags and don't even deserve your attention. Ignore them, bc they'll get theirs one of these days

    I doubt that it's hate that you feel. More like envy, because I'm sure you wouldn't mind being in their situation.

    Its probably normal to dislike people who look down on you and treat you bad. But to generalize that all white people who are rich will do this is a stereotype.

    You need to allow room to think that some rich people who are white will be nice and kind, and that people like that do exist.

    Also, there is the thought that you want people to treat you kind, so you might want to treat others kind too. Or at least make an effort to be kind, or not act evil and hateful just becaue they do. You can be better than them and you can act better too.

    Having pride or self-esteem in yourself might help make you immune to the negative opinions people from all walks of life will have toward you at one time or another.

    There are all kinds of rich people. Some of them are rich, some wealthy. Some can afford a big house, nice clothes and a new car, and they can eat out every night. Others can buy those people with the change in their pocket. Some rich people are snobs and some aren't. Maybe you'll become rich or even wealthy yourself if that's what you want. Just remember that everything that glitters isn't really gold. If you think those smug rich kids have 'everything,' think again. They've got their own problems that probably suck worse than yours. Just 'stay in your own yard.' As Jonny Lang sang: 'instead of trying to be what you're not, you better make the most of what you've got...'

    Lol... Anyone can become rich it's really not that dificult. The most inteligent people generally are not multi-millionaires they live more modest lives. The people you are refering to however are just stuck up, emotionally dead, shallow, sheep-like, morons. They're in no way better than you although they may try to make themselves percieved as such even though they truly live in constant misery.
    Never look up to them you have to keep in mind that its all just a simple illusion they try so very hard to keep up.

    You're political so you need to study how to express yourself in English or whatever language, but clearly. Jealousy and hatred and fear are normal in any person, any race. Problem is if we start identifying them as being okay at a forum like this or wherever. We need to know one time that our hatred doesn't help us but eats us, not them. Meanwhile the rich life looks better than ours -- we think they have choice and we don't -- but there is so much they cannot choose, because of a kind of stupidity that often goes with wealth (laughing at the ghetto, as you say -- which doesn't even get to 'stupid' on the scale)or because their wealth excludes them from feeling their 'soul' (hence white 'trustafarian' syndrome) The cliché 'the best things in life are free' is in fact completely true -- I know for sure. N'wurries.

  • Pretty people make babies with other pretty people and have pretty babies. But often what people see as "pretty" is actually confidence, which many weathy people have, even though they might not be physically acttractive. Stress also makes someone less attractive, which many rich people do not have. But remember, people hate in others what they hate in themselves.

    I hate classism and racism, but my mom has always told me to be proud that I'm an "upper middle class caucasian", which just makes my stomache curl cuz i dont think that it should matter, and its wron of her to try and thrust this idea on me- its 2009 now and all this stupid racism and classim is just a loada rubbish, people are people, no matter wat colour there skin is or how rich their families are, its peoples character that counts and any white rich person who looks down on anyone else should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

  • There is no denying classism and racism. My impression is that many at your school have internalized it - as you say - that they feel inferior and hate rich whites.

    It is clever of you to see through all this and to appreciate more universal values: such as the beauty and dignity of every person & culture. Self and community respect can mitigate actual and perceived racial and class privilege.

    Is there anyway you can bring this to the schools attention to get them to build and promote more positive feelings within your school community about itself?

    You are not racist, you are just judging by what you have been exposed to through life experiences.
    If someone doesn't grow up with blacks, he/she is tend to discriminate. I think you are used to seeing how "reality" is, and arrogant people in general get you pissed. It also has to do with race, but not all rich people are white and not all white people are such and stuck up.

    I neither like or dislike them.

    Rather, I need rich people.

    The owners where I work are VERY rich. I HOPE that doesn't CHANGE. That's my version of HOPE and CHANGE.

    If any politician steals the rest of their money, I'll be standing in a bread line!

    I don't think it is just white people but any person of color can have money and be jerks. I have seen blacks/Indonesian/Pakistani lots of different races who act horribly because they have money. I just try to be thankful for what I have and no that someday they will pay for how they treat people.

    I'm white, and I hate rich people, too. Black, white or plaid. So I guess it must be pretty normal.

    As matter of fact, now that you mention it, I hate the whole concept of money. I hate the fact that I have to have some to eat or sleep out of the rain. I hate the fact that I have to waste my one and only life performing some stupid task just to get some.

    The problem seems to be that all you bastards out there are just too selfish to feed and clothe me unless I pay for it.

    Remember that, to a certain extent, a life of privilege is a handicap. Those born into the elite class never have to struggle or strive, never have to feel the pain of hunger and therefore never have to learn to build the character to overcome it. A certain amount of resentment of such people, especially those who perceive themselves to be better than others because of their birthright is normal. In fact, it is normal to hate these people. However, it is far better to rise above them. Go ahead and be abnormal by seeing them for what they are, namely people who are flush with cash and destitute in spirit.

      arrogance and over-self confidence are forms of insecurity. Nothing here can buy confidence, but our culture is infected with the belief that objects equal happiness, hence the world. People without these things then believe they are inferior, which is also false.
