Because it assumes the data only has negative use. Asian and black communities are underserved in many ways from employment, medicine to education. Forbidding AI to identify race is forbidding AI tools to help serve those people better or even detect that they are being served poorly. It assumes even that targeted advertising by race or gender orientation is only exploitative and not seeking to help fill key needs. AI is only made by racists and religious jobs as a basic assumption seems like a very stupid assumption.
