Means testing race over poverty levels sounds like a terrible idea. I'd love to know how this would work. Considering there are plenty of non poc with dark skin and plenty of poc with white skin. Interestingly enough, if you have light skin despite being poc, you are labelled as white because you dont fit a poc's physical appearance stereotype.

Ever heard of white passing? It's this lovely label that is used to accuse and deny certain types of poc that they aren't poc. Just because they dont fit the stereotypical appearance of a poc. https://medium.com/@DarkSkyLady/white-passing-911f312d2983

I recently got into a discussion about this with someone and they were not happy that I told them they “looked white”. They had white skin and blonde hair mind you, but still didn’t want to accept what I was saying. This is another problem and typical of people who experience white privilege who are also “white passing”; they will claim they are not one of them. Like white people, they claim they are not a part of it. They deny their privilege and the benefits afforded to them through said privilege. What they don’t get, because they fall into the “white passing” category and have the same attitude as white people, is that ** it's not only about how you identify, but how people identify you**.

First off, how is what people assume of you more important than what you know to be true about yourself? People are identified with multiple labels and most are just assumptions that are not true. Also, why say "claim"? If they are poc. They are poc. This basically means, "did you think you being an actual poc mattered? No, of course not. Getting offended over dismissing your race is in itself racist, somehow.."

If you dont look the part. You dont get any recognition of your own race. Since you might be profiting over not looking poc. Which is just sooooo funny, considering there is this other label called black fishing. https://slate.com/culture/2018/11/blackfishing-instagram-models-emma-hallberg-appropriation.html

Earlier this month on Twitter, Toronto writer Wanna Thompson initiated a crowdsourced list of “the white girls cosplaying as black women on Instagram.” Contributors to the thread posted compilations of newer and older photos of various Instagram users with high (sometimes 100,000-plus) follower counts, letting the contrasts speak for themselves: In the “before,” a pale, mousy brunette; in the “after,” brown skin, 3c curls (or dreadlocks or box braids or Bantu knots or a wet and wavy wig), and hood fashions to match. One of these girls shows how she had always been prone to tan. She did Indeed, look tan, but only in the way that many white people look tan.

When you do look the part but are not a poc. And can make money for looking the part. You're apparently "insidious". Gotta love the double standard, though. By making a completely irrelevant remark that being white apparently makes you look "mousy"? I dont even know how someone claiming to be woke thought that was a good idea to leave in the article. You also would think someone so woke would understand that labeling one race as looking the same, is not appropriate. Especially, in an article claiming to be fighting against racism.

Either way, this segregation isn't going to accomplish targeting only negatively on non poc. Pretty sure the above factors will be taken into account as well. I'm fully aware that racism exists and that it has caused multiple deaths. However, this action does not even the odds. It des nothing to close the gap. As someone else mentioned, its half ass action because the rates rise on both groups.
