Oh, I see. ... Although, actually, it might be non-random w.r.t. the first factor too. (But probably in the "wrong" direction: that is, I guess that most people care more about a given person's utility when that person is (a) near them and (b) like them, and when the person in question is an affluent Westerner these probably both anticorrelate with being among the world's neediest.)
