No, that's not what I'm saying. Statistically speaking in America,
Caucasions and Asians have the highest income level followed by Hispanics,
Blacks and Others. Of course it isn't true in *all* cases.

Most cases are based upon whether or not the individual/s have dependents.
If you're married with no dependents getting assistance is more difficult.
It may or may not be easier to receive help if you're one of the minorities,
but based upon income statistics it *could* be.

That's what I was trying to say, but didn't come across very well.
