Shh, nobody tell them about the entirety of Appalachia.

Well ... Elon Musk is white, and he's a pretty big welfare recipient, so ...
Your president lives in a government housing project.
I'm convinced that FOX News has been telling people that the word Racist means Vegan or Gay or something.
"That lazy welfare mooch should have been black."
"Woah, are you racist or something?"
"Hell no, I ain't no pansy-ass racist! I just hate people because of the color of their skin!"
Growing up in the seventies and eighties, all my female cousins were pregnant, unmarried and on welfare. They were all white.
The racist shit is just meant to divide the poor. There are more poor white people than black.
There are a whole bunch of historical reasons as to why black families may be more prone to poverty in the US. The system was literally built to ensure that remains true.
Not the person you replied to, but that's not what they said.
They said there's more poor black people than white. Total numbers, not per capita.
But its also false

Actually

I was just trying to add historical context, not make any claims about statistics.
Whatever the rate is, it's worse than it should be for people of color due to hundreds of years of systemic racism that's still built into the system.
Which sounds absolutely amazing if they were all happy to be there.
But that's only assuming they were in stable relationships, sucks to be a lonely mother.
This can't be correct. My co-worker tells me that the GOP isn't racist. In fact she has many republican friends who also claim to have at least 1 black friend. Nope I just can't buy this story.
I have a friend like that. My father was that way. Racist af and didn't even know it.
They might all be the same black friend. Clarence Thomas has a lot of white friends.
A lot of black guys like Trump. Its always for the most shallow reasons, but still
There's hispanic GOP-voters, too. Somehow they seem to think that the GOP only hates the "bad" poors/blacks/hispanics/women, but not them, who are, of course, the "good ones".
Honestly impressive how far the propaganda got, even if the USA somehow gets defeated and occupied like Nazi Germany in 1945, it's going to take a long time to dig US society out of this hole.
The irony about these people is that so many of them have "We the people..." stickers on their trucks, but didn't seem to know the rest of that sentence and that it states "promote the general Welfare."
Are there any statistics available to see recipients of welfare and how they split across parts of the population?
I bet the majority of wellfare recipients are white and conservative.
Yes, there definitely are.
From the NYT article about the same thing:
Many of her critics claimed the ad gave a false impression about the demographics of welfare recipients. Yet enrollees of Arkansas’ Medicaid expansion — the focus of the “welfare to work” program — are overwhelmingly white, according to an analysis of data from August that the State Department of Human Services provided to The New York Times. They are slightly more likely to be female than male.
More than 60 percent of the roughly 218,000 Medicaid expansion enrollees in the state reported that they are white, 18 percent reported that they are Black and 16 percent did not report their ethnicity. More than three-quarters of them are between 18 and 49 years of age. Women make up 54 percent of the program’s beneficiaries, according to the data.

Edit:
Realized you asked a different question

If the white person had had piercings or tattoos or purple hair, it wouldn't have been a problem.
These people are in a race to the bottom
I need to make a GIF of the scene from Pitch Black where
Tap for spoiler
It starts raining blood because the creatures are eating each other
