I think Russia tends to be a different story because it causes uncertainty in their backyard. It is a large scale war, that threatens to spill into Europe “proper”, and that’s bad for trading and the economy in the EU.
I agree that, for most people, there is still a degree of racism, but I still think that Billionaires look primarily at your wallet (ex: Sunak is in all “proper” circles in the UK, Indian or not) and you race secondly.
IMHO l, racism is a tool to keep the poor from talking about classism. So after years of propaganda about it, it’s a problem that mostly affect the poor, while they get fucked in their wallet
Oh, from my own experience with upper class Englishmen (granted, only a handful) when living in Britain, Sunak isn’t really a “proper” upper class person in their eyes, especially for those who are Old Wealth as he’s both not White and his wealth doesn’t go back enough generations - it’s pretty hard to get accepted into the English upper class circles even if you did attend one of the posher Public Schools and even when inside there are different “classes” of people.
Very wealthy people really are a petty as the rest, and though most are pragmatic in their choice of actions when their economic interests are at stake, they’ll definitelly follow their own petty impulses when such interest are not really at stake.
I mean, the various very public actions from Elon Musk, from his “pedophile” accusation to the rescuer that refused his wild-ass submarine scheme to rescue the boys in Thailand to his Nazi Salute, show him as a prime example of how the very wealthy can act driven by internal impulses even in ways that go against their best interests.
You see, almost all of the very Wealthy are were they are due to “popping out of the right vagina”, not due to superior behaviour, and this is pretty much “100% of them” when it comes to Old Wealth, so don’t presume they’ll act driven by rationality alone - if the stakes for their own interests aren’t high enough they’ll follow things like their supremacist beliefs just like the “riff-raff”, and really the main difference from the English wealthy when they do this to for example the American wealthy, is that they’ll coach the whole thing in some posh “rationale” rather than be open about their Racial Preferences or the appeal of Supremacism for them (it makes sense that somebody who was born to Wealth will be attracted to the idea that some people are born inherently superior to others and hence are more successful, as that implies that their inherent superiority is the reason for their wealth)
