It doesn't "target black customers", it targets people that are unwilling to understand that paying $100 for a pair of sneakers doesn't make them on the same level as a pair of Oxfords or Brogues in terms of dress wear. It targets people that think wearing their LeBron jersey instead of a suit jacket is perfectly fine for dinner attire. If said people just happen to be POC, then I don't think it's too much to ask that they educate themselves to proper social attire for a given eatery or event. I'm not going to expect to walk into a black-tie event looking like I just stepped off a basketball court, so why the hell should they get a pass?
