> I can't speak to other countries, but in the US, it is definitely the case that poor people of color have a harder time getting ahead than equally poor white people.

Then why are the white people equally poor? And does it matter where they live? For example in a major city compared to a dying small town where industry has left? That's a really broad claim to make. Would it hold true in Appalachia, for example?

White rural poor is the absolute lowest class in the US. Late night show hosts openly joke about fantasizing their death so it’s one less vote for the other guy. It’s probably the only class in the US where the rest of US society relishes their suffering.
