meaning that this is more proof of racial profiling, something that many people continue to deny happens.

I.e., focusing only on "economics" is bullshit when one ignores the fact that if one is the "wrong 'race'" (even if a "millionaire" or "billionaire" ), and that there exists the power to negatively impact some groups in this society because of their "race", and doing so by dismissive means such as dubbing it "identity politics", only helps to promote and magnify this egregious practice instead of recognizing it when it happens, and helping to find ways to counter it.
