POC are disproportionately impacted by poverty, which makes it harder for them in many areas of life. But shouldn't our reaction to this be helping the poor, most of which will be POC, instead of helping POC, of which a minority will be poor?

This suggests that it is mere happenstance that POC are disproportionately impacted by poverty. It is not. If you don't attack the source (racist systems, unequal opportunity, etc.), POC will continue to be disproportionately impacted by poverty. This isn't hard.

I think we have largely ended the racist systems, and the racial issues we have today are (real and valid!) downstream ripple effects of racist policies in the past.

If you believe that we have largely ended racist systems after living through 2020, well... I wish you luck crossing streets.

I do. I think most of the disruption has been a reaction to the ripple effects of those racist systems.
