It shouldn't distress you. I am one person (of unknown quality) but I have found the comments to be perfectly fine. Aside from the pedantic arguments (universal versus guaranteed) which offer no viewpoint of the policy, every commenter wants to improve the lives of their poor, black and brown neighbors. They just also want to improve the lives of their poor, white neighbors as well.
Is it so bad a thing to want to extend a good thing (which you support) to include more people? Isn't that the definition of inclusivity? Should it matter if a statistical measure (the racial wealth gap) changes more slowly so long as more people get the chance to live a dignified life?
Edit: I want to clarify I'm not asking these questions rhetorically. I genuinely want to understand your perspective.
