I think the point is also about access to a certain degree of privilege. Merely being born in what is considered currently the western civilization or hemisphere- Basically Europe, US, Canada and Australia- Gives you access to a lot of economic and social opportunity. Which includes things like free primary and secondary education, heath care, pensions, social security, food stamps/security, infrastructure, easy mobility etc etc. Your average US citizen has more to their disposal(in terms of any metric you can possibly measure) than people in South Asia or Africa.
