This same concept seems to show up everywhere, but things like scholarships and welfare are a great example. Yes, it’s absolutely true that the average black person has fewer opportunities and thus a lower socioeconomic status compared to the average white person. But this tendency towards poverty is not a direct consequence of their skin color – and in fact, acting like it is is literally claiming that black people are objectively inferior to whites (which, any reasonable person knows that isn’t true).
If welfare distribution systems ignored ethnicity and instead focused on indicators of prosperity that are actually relevant (such as employment, income, education, family support etc), then assuming everything is designed equitably with no corruption/exploitation, assistance will reach those who need it regardless of skin color. If more black people are in need of assistance, then more black people will get assistance without any need for direct discrimination.

I think this is the problem many “moderates” have with democratic policies. It doesn’t make sense to distribute assistance based purely on ethnicity when some black people are very wealthy while some white people live in extreme poverty (which, I realize that doesn’t represent the majority at all). That and the “new” definition of racism, i.e. prejudice + power…that’s not what racism is. “Prejudice + power” describes institutionalized racism specifically. General racism is any thoughts or actions being influenced by the other person’s ethnicity – it can be positive or negative, extreme or minor, goes both ways, and exists in everyone whether or not you act on it and whether or not you are even cognizant of it.
