It has nothing to do with race. Race (in my example) is just a stand-in for =any= group which is percieved as being less worthy.
In this case it's actually true.

And if it's true for a racial group, why is it not ok to say so?
It would be OK to say, if it were true.

There are some neighborhoods where it is true. There are people in
whose experience it is true.

It is certainly legal to say so. It is not very civilized to do so in a
social situation however.
