There's lots of notions tied to social justice that I find objectionable, but by far the worst is this notion that it's only racist or sexist or classist if you exploit some power differential when making your smears.  Adding that power dynamic has essentially been used as a get-out-of-jail-free card to allow for egregious racism, sexism and classism, as long as you aim UP that power dynamic.

And this article is yet another example.  The author smears across an entire social class, back multiple generations in the same family, and across an entire ethnicity, smearing guilt for slavery committed centuries ago by distant relatives onto the modern, living descendant.  It doesn't matter that this person had nothing to do with slavery.  It matters that he's royalty, he's white, he's rich, and he's got a middle name shared with that person back in history that committed the crimes.

It astounds me that bigotry of this scale is back to being socially acceptable.
