Actually, this is a brilliant question! I hadn't thought about it along those lines, and find your reasoning very interesting.
One could ask would the blacks stand for a major tax on hair braiding studios?
I think you're on to something here.

Here in DC they were recently considering a sugary-drink tax. There would be a per-ounce tax on sodas, fruit drinks, gatorade, and engergy drinks.
The reason they avoided the tax (which is fine by me) was that it would adversely impact the black community since they drink so much soda and can scarce afford to spend more money since they make so little.
So, a soda tax was avoided because of its adverse impact on a minority group.
I think it time that we do the same.
I think it time we started standing up and fighting for our own rights!
To paraphrase a t-shirt that was popular some years back in the black community...
"It's a White Thing,
you couldn't understand".
