I think they were meaning the billionare class and they just phrased it very suspiciously.

You could be right but I'd rather let 'em answer the question for themself.

I was meaning the wealthy and the cutthroat.

All good. Maybe just be a bit more specific next time so it doesn't sound like you're saying "(((minorities)))"

Technically yes, but in the current political climate phrases like your initial one are frequently said by right wing wackos to alude to various protected classes indirectly. For example. With your initial comment

and as such the system is beneficial to minorities (specific ones, not all).

The first thing that pops into my head isn't billionares, it's alex jones ranting about "the jews" and "the world order", because the way you wrote that comment had a lot in common with the way those people talk when they're trying to not say the quiet part out loud.
