A poor one, yes.
:D I have problems with anyone trying to identify like that.

I suppose all AIDS charity workers ought to contract HIV
before they're allowed to dish out any pathos.

You are completely missing my point
and therefore are just being an argumentative cunt.

I am not saying that they shouldn't help. I am saying it's hypocritical to say "We're poor"

They're not poor. Never have been.

I can't think of a song where they've claimed to be poor.

Why does Wikipedia disagree with you?
Apparently his father was an artist and his mother an anthropologist and they were separated from each other. Not lawyers. Not super-affluent.

He also apparently suffered racism due to his Mexican heritage.

Sounds really privileged.

I don't say so
I have no idea about the man. But I can read Wikipedia as well as the next person.

You seem to know all about him though. Just wondering what your source was.

what if the next person is Stevie Wonder?

I bet Stevie Wonder has a personal butler
whose only task is to read out Wikipedia entries to him.

Oh soz
Knew him. Met him.

You could have said
"I don't like RATM. I don't enjoy that sort of music and I met Zack de la Rocha and thought he was a twat" and everything would have been fine.

But you started making baseless accusations and prejudiced statements based on inverted snobbery about his perceived wealth and privilege. Then you got snotty when people challenged your prejudices.
