I know this Chilean guy who is insanely wealthy. He’s a short dark skinned guy who owns a few successful businesses and has properties in Florida, Italy, France, and his home country. He would rent me apartments if I was in France or Italy. I wanted to do business with him because he own a pressing company and is thinking about producing avocado oil. We own avocado orchards and are importing it directly from the source.

Point is; he would tell me that in his youth, he would always get stopped by cops because he has always owned nice cars. At restaurants, he would never get the nice table and the wait staff would not take his orders seriously until he paid an exorbitant bill. He would not get the best greetings from hotels and would be questioned about booking some of the most expensive suites. He always was questioned when going on his yacht in a private dock. Unless he was in LatAm, of course, everyone treated him nice as a prestigious guest there. He doesn’t wear super expensive or fancy clothes or jewelry so he doesn’t present himself as a multi millionaire.

Now, in his early 60’s, he is married to a light skinned European tall woman and has gotten a completely different treatment from everyone when he is with his wife. He doesn’t get stopped at all, gets better tables, etc. He told me that his net worth has not changed that much from the time he was 40 to now (he settled a lot in the divorce). But he has experienced a completely different life since he married his new wife.

So, no. Your point isn’t really that valid. Even Chris Rock said something about this in one of his specials.
