my dude did you not speak to any person of Arab descent between 2001 and 2021? You couldn't even be Sikh without getting accused of being an Islamic terrorist

The point being- were there no rich black men taking flights? Rich women? or did they somehow not have to fear terrorist attacks on planes?

There was no point in inserting that and it's not only not true but also prejudiced assuming of course there could only be rich white men taking flights. Certainly couldn't be minorities taking flights right?

It was stupid to insert, out of place, and deserved to be called out.

Has nothing to do with the profiling done on Arab/Sikh/etc. people done by TSA.
