Of course race place a role. See
Which the Economist published a couple of months ago. The main theses is that the more diverse from an ethnic or linguistic point of view an economy is, the less the government spending will be. Namely it is often true in ethnic diverse economies there is often an economic dominate ethnic group (could be majority like Whites in USA or minority like Chinese in Malaysia) that plays a larger role in politics due their economic power and will pursue policies that will reduce assets being spent on making society more "equal" because they feel that all it does is to help the "other." I am sure this effect gets greater as intra-ethnic economic gaps gets bigger.
