Geez, next you're going to tell me welfare reform is racist eventhough there's more white people on welfare.
When you look at the impact of certain economic factors, do you look at just the top numbers to give you the best picture, or does the per capita figure provide a better idea of what is going on? When looking at comparisons between groups with different populations or economic size is it not a more accurate comparison when looking at the rate, such as spending as a percentage of GDP and other such figures?
My point here, in case it isn't clear, is that you are being deliberately obtuse. A truly colorblind policy would affect individuals along racial lines at rates proportional to their rate in overall society. Looking at rates, not numbers, is how you actually assess these sorts of things.
This should not be unfamiliar to you in any way.
