Because you don't know what you're looking at and, as you know, are intentionally going based on stereotypes rather than the reality.

Poor whites comprise most of the AFDC and other safety net and welfare benefits. As for neighborhoods, these benefits tend to take a different form in white neighborhoods than they do in Black or Hispanic neighborhoods. HUD homes are also in the white neighborhoods but "high rise" projects are found in more Black and Hispanic neighborhoods. Obama's initiatives would most likely be applied to more Black neighborhoods than white neighborhoods to address the disproportionate poverty and poor living conditions.
