Luckily, basically everyone who advocates for bicycle infrastructure also advocates for public transportation, which as I understand it in the U.S is more utilized by less privileged groups.

I find it hilarious that anyone would ever try to start a debate making the standpoint that car-oriented development would be the less racist alternative, what with highways inside cities having been used to absolutely ravage areas where non-whites have lived, and suburbs basically having entirely excluded non-whites, by both economic and non-economic means. Not to mention the added economic strain of owning a car, making it even worse for those who are less well off economically.
