>No, rich people have access to lawyers.

I agree with this, and I think we are generally in agreement.

Rich people are mostly white males. For example, check your favourite image search for "rich people". Correlation is not causation but correlation is correlation.

>The root cause is the lack of access to education, and ignorance of others.

I would prefer to say that the root causes are exactly what you said: "here, have the shit jobs", "us being actively hostile to you", "we are going to bully you".

Those problems are not being solved through education: schools, as they exist today, foster this type of behaviour. And so, well-educated adults are no less likely to exhibit this type of behaviour and are more likely to be in a position where it's a serious problem.
