Listen friend, you aren't alone. This situation is exactly why fascists are so successful. The people with something to lose are never the ones to start throwing stones. Fascism, depends on a subjugated class that the majority do not belong to.

Real change will require an incredibly risky challenge to authority. For it to work, that challenge will have to to come from someone who belongs to the privileged class. Luigi threw the first stone, and we love him.

What would the cultural reaction have been if the first person to assassinate a CEO was an ethnic minority?

The group up high would look down their nose and tut tut about the uppity minority because the first group at best are prejudice.
