I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'promoting social inequality' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'spat on celebs one caught' is the wordplay.
'spat on' becomes 'feud' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'celebs' becomes 'A-list' (the A-list means very famous people).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'feud'+'alist'+'i'+'c'='FEUDALISTIC'
