But what's the most hated "Group" in the Western World right now? = Rich white people.

Just a few examples to both dispel and expand on your theory:
The early Chinese who helped build the transcontinental railroad were dirt poor. They and those who followed had few rights, no citizenship, unequal pay, limited jobs and living areas. Despite some success, discrimination also prevented land ownership and many job opportunities. More success resulted in being excluded from immigration. It was worse for Native Americans.
Outside of slavery (duration, about 230 years), there was a black community in Tulsa who were financially very successful. All that got them was a torched community and dead citizens.
During WWII, Japanese-Americans (citizens mind you) forfeited their property and incarcerated by our govt.
Nope. Minorities that succeed do so in spite of various degrees of racial discrimination.
Those stories are in history books that aren't abbreviated. Examples continue.
The most hated group in the world? Unknown, maybe Nazis and the like. Not sure. There are many most hated individuals for various reasons. I'm pretty certain being an A-hole is a prerequisite. Being rich may be a factor, but not necessary.
You asked the question. That's MHO.
