Topic: White people benefit the most (and most likely abuse) welfare in America.
Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago#16,224
7% of whites live under the poverty line. They account for 35% of welfare distribution.
29% of blacks live under the poverty line. They account for 33% of welfare distribution.
But yet black people on welfare are considered "welfare queens." Yet another example of white privilege in America.

What Nexus is trying to say, you no doubt intelligent individual, is that your accusations that many white people are welfare queens is an accusation falsely drawn from the fact that many Hispanics, who are welfare queens, identify as white.

I was going to let him figure it out on his own.

False dichotomy. You're implying that only Hispanic people are allowed to identify as "white", which is just preposterous.

OP's got a point. Jeffery Immelt is white, and he alone got billions in welfare money.

The purpose of my original statement was to show that those particular statistics are flawed. Saying that "whites" receive a larger percentage of welfare based off data from the census is flawed, due to how the census collects its data. Anyone can write "white" in the little box that asks for your race, nothing stops you, that is the whole point of the argument.

So why don't all races fill in "white" in the little box, smart guy?

No way to tell without interviewing each person who answers the census questionnaire.
