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.
But that's just the situation as it is now, it doesn't make the definition racist.
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.
Are you saying a POC can't have 1st world problems?
Yes, that is the exact meaning if my words /s
I think you misinterpreted my comments. That's okay my dude. I was saying POC can also have 1st world problems and aren't excluded because of their race.
Super american-centric take, go off wrong-queen
Bullshit. Western-centric, maybe. But even globally seen are white people generally better off than non-white people. That doesn't mean that in countries that are not USA, Canada or european countries non-white people cannot be privileged over white people, but globally and statistically, white people have more freedom are wealthier and have better access to any kind of infrastructure.
