Asking a question on welfare to a YA regular?

Someone whose name starts with "J" just commented that 66% of the people on welfare are whites. Well, considering that hispanics only make up 5% on welfare. That leaves 29% of other groups, which would have to be mostly comprised of blacks.

Considering that blacks only make up 13 - 14% of the US population, that tells me that blacks must have a higher ratio on welfare. Do you agree with this? I'm not too good at math, but just looking at the figures "J _ _ .." presented, this does look a little lopsided, doesn't it?

How about you Miss J? You are the one with all the statistics, right?
