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 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.

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.
