It can be left at that.
There is no utility in a victim mentality even if there's no question the person is being victimized. Even a person sitting in a gulag is not served by a complaint mentality.
Born on the wrong side of the tracks isn't something to dwell on, but a problem to solve. I was born on the wrong side of the street, went to prison, and have no college degree or credentials, and I'm doing great. I felt sorry for myself for about an hour once, when our work crew ran out of water before noon on a sweltering day, and we had 5 more hours of work. Then I worked harder, channeling my frustration into what needed to get done.
That's probably mostly an innate character trait, and something difficult to learn. I've always had the sense that I've got great capability to affect circumstances, or to adapt to them.
