Here's the problem: elitism which includes rampant racism and classism.
When the vast majority of most countries is relatively poor compared to some group at the top or some group of countries at the top, this is a fundamental structural problem.
Deep down, racism and Social Darwinism are extremely popular. These false beliefs are used to rationalize structural inequality and prevent any fundamental systems changes from being made.
