You're welcome. Honestly, I don't think it was an insult to white men. It is true that "rich white men" don't tend to become humble (and she did say "a rich white man"). I think the fact that you hair-trigger get defensive about it says more about you, than about what the insult intended. It wasn't a tirade against white men. It was an observation about rich white men, of which our esteemed Corgan is exemplary of. Not to speak for anyone else, but I doubt anyone thinks that every single rich white man fits this.
