If the number of single white males abusing the system is miniscule, doesn’t that imply that the numbers from smaller demographic groups are even lower? Is there a problem or isn’t there, you can’t have it both ways.
I mean… The red tape part could actually be true. But only because black people have historically had to deal with a lot more red tape than white people. Because red tape is a tool that often gets weaponized in the name of racism. For a white person, red tape is an occasional inconvenience. For many black people, red tape is a fact of life, as inevitable as death and taxes.
Black people have been developing (and passing down) strategies to work within and around systematic discrimination for generations, because for them it is a necessary survival mechanism. If cutting some red tape is the difference between your family eating or going hungry, you can bet your ass that people will be singularly motivated to figure out ways to cut that red tape.
I understand that millions of dollars are being wasted going after a “miniscule” number of abusive recipients, and that it’s dumb to do so when the money could be better spent elsewhere.

Just tell me what color I’m mad at!

This is being saved and sent to my mom the next time she opens her bigot (and, coincidentally, welfare-receiving) mouth.
I see you’ve brought logic to a dumbass fight, gonna lose that one. Godspeed though.
I don’t think you understood anything anyone has said…
