If you're using race as a proxy for wealth (e.g., black ppl tend to be poorer and the poverty is a disadvantage), then you should just use wealth, not race.

But in those conversations, the fact I was homeless and sleeping on a friend's couch was irrelevant, because I'm white. Whiteness is privilege, so the disadvantages of my poverty weren't meaningful or tied into any broader narrative. Nobody in that room said anything about it.

Being not-poor and black is not the same as being poor and white. If you can't recognize this, you're way too white and privileged, regardless of your wealth and profession.
