[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The question was about economic disparity between races in the ward. Goulet went first and immediately equated persona of color in Ward 3 with voucher recipients. The racial disparity in the ward is because voucher recipients don’t have enough support services from the city. The other candidates immediately castigated him for assuming all persons of color in the ward are voucher recipients. [/quote] SNAP recipients represent different races and/or ethnicities. White: about 37 percent; African American: 26 percent; Hispanic: 16 percent; Asian: 3 percent; and Native American: about 2 percent. (About 16 percent of participants are categorized as “race unknown.”) Given that Ward 3 is majority "White" and elderly, it's likely many of them receive some sort of housing/rental assistance as well.
