Would it be just as bad in your mind if it was a Texan with a big hat and accent? It is stereotyping and stereotyping of a class that does profit from oil. If it was Chaney you would laugh and not worry about stereotyping.
"A person who belongs to a class of people will not like this product because it reduces the money made by this class of people" Class, not race. Maybe the title led to the impression that it was a single race that would lead one to claim prejudice. Is he an Arabian? A Bedouin? A Kurd? A Pakistani? Or is he an oil man? When I see prejudice, I see race, not class. I wonder who here is prejudice against the government or politicians. Shame on them! Prejudice is bad! Oh, you mean in that case its good?
