"Being poor" isn't directly expressed in genes. Skin colour and body shape is.

Sad thing about humanity - we love to politicize facts and deny reality because it doesn't match some ideology.

So? Skin colour and body shape are determined by environment as well as by genes, and race is determined by social factors as well as by skin colour and body shape. It's at least as convoluted a process to get from genes to race as it is to get from genes to wealth.

You're accusing me of politicizing facts, but seeing race in and around normal human variation is itself a political act, even if it is an innate prejudice.
