I think it's presumptuous that only a certain income level is going to have access to this. It very much depends on the scalability of the treatment. Nearly everyone in the entire nation got the COVID vaccine, and those that didn't weren't due to lack of financial means. Just because you assert this will be reserved for the ultra wealthy doesn't make it so.
The rest of what you said is borderline unintelligible, but I'll give it a shot.
Sure, it would probably be difficult to "un-black" a baby or something, as there are a ton of genetic markers that inform what we think of as "blackness." But just because it's hard, doesn't mean it can't be done.
And you say that Eugenics "is a vocal minority," which I presume to mean that most people are anti-eugenics. But, as you say, we live in a capitalist hellscape. It would be entirely possible for a billionaire to run a "un-black your baby for a chance to win a million dollars" campaign (a'la the Elon Musk voting drive), and have that take off in a big way.
And all that assumes that people wouldn't be driven to it by simple desire for conformity. It's easy to justify a lot of things under the "my child would have a much better life if they just weren't... fill in the blank." In the modern climate as an example, there would probably be a lot of Hispanic people saying things like, "my child probably wouldn't get abducted by ICE if they just were more white passing." And that's terrible, obviously, but I guarantee it would happen. Not every mother. Not even a majority. But a good number would.
