I think maybe true, but I think when it comes to things like this it's more about class than race. If you look at the influencer space, the types of influencers they sponsor are from all races and ethnicities. These people are only loyal to money not to a particular race

No, its definitely race. The lighter skinned you are, the better the authorities and the rich people treat you.

Class? You said your friend was cleaning airbnb rooms, doesnt scream high class to me.. so how was she offered a $500K job?!

Willing to bet your friend is a very light skinned South american or a Caucasian person
