That's cultural appropriation.
If have-nots who are black miss out on financial aid (or something else) because they are black, then giving financial aid based on have/have-not status without considering the race sounds like the safest, most sustainable, and (importantly) most respectable way of going about it.
Explicitly avoiding favoring based on race strikes me as the surest way to eliminate the disparity (that which accumulated from decades of exactly such favoring), while attracting least pushback from across the political aisle.
I can’t imagine any reason for not doing this except for short-term optics, minority votes, etc.
I fail to see how using financial weakness as discriminating factor would not address financial weakness in the black community.
No. What culture is allegedly appropriated here? Random insinuations don't make a good argument.
