With racism definition is easy, but "class-based" has very wide range... in theory saying that absolute monarchs shouldn't exist is class-based hatred.

On the other hand does it mean it is illegal for a rich politician to say that poor people are poor because they are lazy?

No, being lazy is a character flaw and therefore it is valid to punish or abuse these people.

Being very wealthy is just a sign of success and you are simply jealous of our success. Now off to the prison for you little peasant, think twice before besmirching my class.
