...and then publicly blame them for their financial irresponsibility and higher per-capita crime rates.
Of course, more specific hypotheses require more detailed premises.
For instance, if I were a manager at a store and had lessers on staff (fairness in hiring standards and all that, which I would decry as state interference in my business decisions) I would ALWAYS deny them promotions, which would be reserved for the greater races. I would make it as hard as possible for junior employees to get raises or vacation time, and fire them for the slightest mistake -- or at least make a big deal out of tiny errors I would otherwise forgive.
If I were a political activist, I would seek to promote statewide ballot measures and city ordinances which would reduce funding and priority for any neighborhood- or family-oriented assistance programs. I would do everything possible to reduce any tax revenue that could go to improving public schools in lesser-heavy areas. I would always refer to these as "special rights" and "coddling minority interests".
If I were a policeman, I would always presume the greatest guilt upon the part of any member of a lesser race. I would always subject them to the fullest scrutiny at the slightest provocation -- e.g., full searches for a traffic violation, equate loitering with intent to commit robbery, and so on.
If I were a broadcaster, I would cast aspersions at every opportunity upon the lessers for their assumed crimes -- but never as a race, oh no, "some of my best friends are lessers" would be a mantra. Rather, always focus upon the symptoms of their socio-economic woes, and blame those who seek systemic remedies for pushing a "nanny state" to protect those least deserving of respect.
If I were independently wealthy, I would establish or contribute funds to think-tanks and PACs which promoted the messages and political leanings of like-minded folk. I would belong to exclusive country clubs where even the valets and busboys were ubers rather than lessers. I would hobnob with my friends in the financial sector, and always insinuate that they shouldn't tender loans or handle investments from lessers.
If I were a cube monkey, I would set up a right-wing blog that would pander to the interests of the aforementioned groups, grabbing whatever statistics and "facts" they provided to promote my viewpoint. I would denigrate those who support lessers as ignorant tools of the oppressive establishment who prevented me from attaining the greatness I truly deserved.
If I were a normal working blue-collar guy, I would use the lessers as proof of my own relative greatness even in my diminished social standing. I would always epilogue any self-critical thoughts with "at least I'm not a (insert racial slur for lesser of choice here)" to maintain a facsimile of self-esteem. I would talk loudly in bars about the unfairness of taxation for redistributing wealth to lessers who do not deserve it. I would shop at the stores managed by the first example, I would support causes promoted by the second example, I would support every anti-lesser action of the third example, I would listen to media from the fourth example, I would defend the privileged exclusivity of the fifth example, and I would tout the great wisdom, expert authority and technical savvy expressed by the sixth example. If I got really desparate, I might even join the KKK or some other ultra-reactionary movement.
Wow, come to think of it, that might just describe around 36% of the American population.
