This is what I was disagreeing with. People are allowed to take risks who are not part of "the privileged", else we wouldn't have terms like "self-made millionaire".

It comes down to a multiplier effect. If you have no privilege, your multiplier is 0 or inconsequentially small as a risk multiplier for the amount of risk you can feasibly take.
