Is humanize the word you really mean to use, or do you mean something more like valorize or glorify?
Are you aware of what it means to dehumanize?

I'm pretty sure they meant that. There are a lot of people who don't see rich people as humans anymore. The irony is lost on them.

There are a lot of people who don't see rich people as humans anymore.

Can you give an example?
