    Huh, I’ve only encountered the “rich and privileged” definition in the wild, regardless of skin color.

      Yes, there are rich and privileged people with any given skin color. Nonetheless are non-white rich and privileged people by far outnumbered by white rich and privileged and non-white rich and privileged are very often less privileged than their white peers.

        What I mean to say is that it includes every citizen of a particular 1st world country. The US, for example, has a very wide racial diversity, and every one of them is part of my encountered definition.

          Then your definition is dumb. There are a lot of poor people in the US. Just because there are people worse off doesn’t mean your own poors aren’t poor and underprivileged and suffering from it.

          Edit: Your description also even furthers my point, because the globally poorest people are non-whites and they are also outnumbering rich and privileged by a large margin.
