So are you saying that because some have made it marginalization is not a thing? Of course its causes are also cultural, that is exactly my point: we need to find cultural answers to this.<p>Your argument smells a lot like the self-made-man American myth. Just because some have made it out of poverty, often in different conditions than these, doesn&#x27;t mean we don&#x27;t have to fight poverty because everyone who is smart enough will pull herself out of it by her bootstraps (and I&#x27;m not talking just about material poverty).
