That you believe a rich white guy can go in and just command authority purely on the basis of him being a rich white guy is objectively wrong.

So I think you’re overlooking the fact that rich white countries conquered the world and back up rich white guys wherever they goes. His money and white skin have power because of what’s behind it.

It’s not unlimited - if he became a nuisance to other rich white guys they’d have him dealt with.

I think Chinese, Saudis, Indian, etc rich folk would have just as much power as any random rich white guy. That you are so hyper focused on white skin is really just proving my point.

Your thoughts seem like something from a bad propaganda film.

Any random rich white guy has the full backing of whatever rich white country he comes from. His white skin isn’t magic, it is a flag to everyone else that he’s untouchable because he has its implicit protection as a member of a white ruling class in a white ruling country.

Think of it like the US dollar! It’s not a magic slip of paper that has value, it’s a token with the full backing of the US empire.
