NONSENSE. Then why not "target" ALL hit by the recession instead of zooming in on "people of color"? You would go ballistic if a congressional group targeted "white people" for special HELP, yet feel all warm and fuzzy when it is reversed. Get real!
The same reason there are there policies that disproportionately affect any number of target demographics, such as income, social status, gender orientation, sex, etc. Its easier to target the groups that need help the most if you slice and dice the statistics a little bit. It helps funds go where they are needed most rather than be wasted on people who may already be doing well.
