A lot of Americans have the belief that if poverty was or is hypothetically escapable, then people had enough of a chance and so their poverty is an individual failure. The anti-identity politics crowd tries to invert that. They interpret claims of racial privilege as tantamount to claims of personal moral failure as the cause of poverty. Like a "you're an able bodied cis white man, but you're poor? It's your own fault then." Rather than like you said, it's just less likely being because of a ton of factors.
