In my anecdotal experience being born into privilege might allow someone more risk tolerance , but more often than not they might be personally more risk adverse.

There are few things more infantile (and socially noxious) than someone ascribing the success of others to privilege over ability+effort simply because they are insecure about their own success

Hunger always trumps access to opportunity. That being said, immigrants self select.

Neither of these assertions are accurate. For the first, you have to add "or children of immigrants". For the second you'd need to add "or upper middle class" and you'd still be under 60%.

I am poor( w/o fam) & can honestly say there is a massive difference between poor and middle class. Being poor is creatively hustling/working the kinks just to squeeze in the door, middle class is door is already open/give 100%. Being broke w/ a bit of luck is a true blessing.
