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?

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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.
