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?

I'm unclear why racial weights seem to get priority. There's other large-scale problems like people with mental illnesses. There's people who were born to mean parents who now make it hard for them to function. These are all weights, and they are vast and varied.

I think the same people who would argue for specific help for minorities would support specific help for the disabled. Of course the more specific the “weight”, the harder it is to enact social flotation against it. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try for the more general ones.
