It seems like theres a stereotypical emphasis on "bottom feeders" to mean inner city blacks, but really there are probably 10x more White people recieving welfare and social services than Black people.

Regardless of race, people from poor areas are more likely to participate in crime. There are just as many poor white areas like trailer parks as there are black ghettos. If we reformed the prison system to give prisoners more basic literacy and vocational rehabilitation it would probably help a lot.
