The fact that they may be of Jewish heritage and are being criticised doesn't make the quote anti-semitic.

This family made billions as opium dealers whose impact has been seen nationwide. But since it was 'just business' they get to turn a blind eye to the impact.

I understood the quote to be a comment on the idea that once morality free enrichment becomes codified into law what would seem to be morally 'wrong' is justified and even looks 'good' since what they are doing is legal.

How did you manage to connect that to antisemitism?

I think it’s an attempt to quote American Psycho, although it’s slightly wrong.

I took it to be a criticism of American culture.
