If you're using race as a proxy for wealth (e.g., black ppl tend to be poorer and the poverty is a disadvantage), then you should just use wealth, not race.

using opinions with “should” with backed up arguments with the statistics based on the proximity of your personal history in this era of human civilization, you gotta dig deeper but significantly more of the human collective of history that has been ingrained for generations.

How about basic logic. Re-read Aella's tweet. IF you are using race as a proxy for *wealth* THEN just use *wealth*.
What Aella is saying is that you shouldn't assume that someone is rich or poor based on their race. What possible arguments could you present to refute this?

So let's say you want to tackle poverty. Black people are more likely to be poor than white people it is true. But if your goal is reduce poverty it would silly to give to give aid based solely on race. ->

There are black people who are rich and don't need financial aid, and there are white people who are poor and do need financial aid. But if you are trying to determine specifically who is rich and poor it makes more sense to look at things like income and assets than race.

Native Americans and black people do get aid through certain reparations programs, I was only getting to deeper context than cold logical semantics.Why do we fill these race things for every application? What reality and illusion do we fall in? Mortality rates of COVID-19 effect?

Maybe it would help if Aella provided some additional context.
