I once worked with a guy who I would describe as "very colonial British". He would probably be ~70 years old now and was telling stories from his childhood in Hong Kong and Philippines. Stories of racism and privilege that he treated like something completely natural.
So one time he told a story about his friend's son that was such a great businessmen and managed to build a big company all by himself. He supposedly had a small company making bags and managed to grow it by:
All by himself you see. Great businessman.
I totally agree with you. Those people really don't see this as privilege, they think this is how everyone does things. The infuriating part that you have a lot of people among them that realize how bad this looks so they pay think tanks and media to push stories about "job creators" and how everything would collapse without those people.
