I was intrigued by your assertion that the previous poster’s statement was incorrect. I’d heard that statement was also correct. Finding a data source online was surprisingly difficult, as almost all graphs on the topic were presented in percentages by race as opposed to absolute numbers. I finally found the following data source, and multiplied out the population count by race with the percentage below 100% of the poverty line by race. If you have a different data source, or methodology, please share. https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=Poverty%20by%20race&tid=ACSST1Y2021.S1703 https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=Poverty%20by%20race&t... White alone, not Hispanic or Latino 188537199 Less than 100% of poverty line 9.5% = 17,911,033 Versus Hispanic or Latino origin (of any race) 61398400 Less than 100% of poverty line 17.5% = 10,744,720 By absolute count, the assertion that White, Hispanic population have more people in poverty than White, non-Hispanic population, appears to be incorrect. From the data, there are 324173084 people in the US, with an overall poverty rate of 12.8%, meaning that 41,494,154 people are in poverty. 17,911,033 White non-Hispanic in poverty 41,494,154 - 17,911,033 = 23,583,121 (rest of the population) So, the White Non Hispanic Population in Poverty is less than the number of non (White Non Hispanic) Population. So, neither of you were correct? But there are a ton of poor white people in the US. Significantly more than any other single race.
