The two issues in America are not in practice totally separable. The relationship is not purely correlative. It's pretty clear in America that white people don't like to see some races "getting above their station" by climbing the class ladder. A pretty clear example are the Tulsa race riots: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_race_riot
Greenwood was a prosperous black area near Tulsa, doing so well that it was known as "Black Wall Street". White resentment eventually boiled over and 35 blocks were burned to the ground. Hundreds were killed, and it included many horrors, including white people using then-new airplanes to firebomb the neighborhood from above.
If you read Loewen's "Sundown Towns" you can find plenty more incidents where white resentment of black success led to oppression, violence, and sometimes death.
