Sure, of course. However those things listed are still more about being comfortable than being happy. I'd much rather live in the ghetto than in suburbia because it's just not as boring. This view also part of what I would call liberal racism. Where liberal white people just assume that other cultures and people would be better off if they had been born white and western without even bothering to ask them. What about the hispanic sense of family or black sense of struggle. These things have huge value, value probably beyond just being rich and comfortable.

This is actually an interesting point, but I'd like if you could explain better why it is more interesting.

Additionally, I don't want anyone else to be born white, I want everyone to have give or take equal opportunities of social success and acceptance. In fact, some physical diversity makes the world interesting.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
