I’d think a self proclaimed data guy would want good data, not a load of nonsense. There’s nothing essential about race, so injecting it into your data set is only going to obscure.
The thing about working with data is that more often than not its messy and guess what - I still need to produce insights to decision makers.
This idea that there is nothing essential as if race is a complete non factor is pie in the sky leftist kumbaya bullshit when in the real world lots of things can be inferred (ACROSS A LARGE POPULATION SET) just from race.

To be clear on your position, SCOTUS was wrong to overturn affirmative action because race IS essential and we should consider individuals based on arbitrary group characteristics.
Nobody should be give more opportunity because of race. Talk about a strawman here.
You keep living in your imaginary world where tribes don't display similar characteristics.

Race is either essential or it isn’t. If we’re going to punish people for their immutable characteristics, why wouldn’t we similarly give them a boost? They can’t help it, after all.
My goal is to ensure the streets are safe for my citizens. As usual you revert to theoretical arguments that aren't applicable in real world situations.
Whatever information is useful to keep law abiding citizens safe is good information to have.

The largest racial group receiving SNAP benefits is White, making up about 35.4% of recipients, followed by African Americans at 25.7%, and Hispanic individuals at 15.6%. However, other groups, such as Black, American Indian, and Alaska Native households, are more likely to rely on SNAP benefits relative to their population size. A significant portion of participants (17%) are listed with an unknown race, according to USDA data.

New USDA Report Provides Picture of Who Participates in SNAP
By Heather Hartline-Grafton, Senior Advisor, SNAP, and Ellen Vollinger, Legal/Food Stamp Director
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been issuing a series of annual reports on the demographic and economic characteristics of households and individuals participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The latest report, covering fiscal year 2019, was released at the end of March and provides useful information for advocates, policymakers, and other stakeholders. The data are particularly helpful in pushing back against harmful and damaging stereotypes about SNAP participants.
Key Report Findings
- SNAP targets those in greatest need. Among those participating in the program, most are children, elderly persons, or individuals with a disability. In fact, 86 percent of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, elderly person, or person with disabilities. In addition, about 92 percent of all SNAP benefits go to households with income at or below the federal poverty line.
- 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.”)
- Many SNAP households have earned income. Almost one-third of SNAP households have earned income, though only 20 percent of households have gross monthly income above the federal poverty line. The average SNAP household’s monthly gross income is $872 and net income is $398.
- The vast majority of SNAP households do not receive cash welfare benefits. Only 4 percent of all SNAP households, and only 10 percent of SNAP households with children, receive benefits through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.
- SNAP fights poverty. More than 9 percent of participating households moved above the federal poverty line when SNAP benefits were included in gross income, and 10 percent of the lowest-income SNAP households moved out of deep poverty.
- SNAP benefit adequacy is a serious concern. About 36 percent of SNAP households receive the maximum allotment. The other 64 percent of participating households receive less than the maximum, and are expected to spend some of their other income on food to make up the difference. According to one calculation, the average monthly benefit per household was $258 in fiscal year 2019. As described in a prior FRAC analysis, the greatest shortcoming of SNAP is that benefits for most households are not enough to get them through the entire month without hunger or being forced to sacrifice nutrition quality.

Im happy to engage you here, but before I do. Are there ANY limitations to SNAP program that 57 would support? If so, what would that look like. What would need to be for you to say "cut that person off"
(Im fully aware you cant and wont answer this)

Asking someone what their limiting principle is isn’t the equivalent of “jumping through a MAGA hoop.” If anything, they’re similarly guilty of not having a limiting principle on their own policies.
