The switch to the cards has nothing to do with stigma. It's cheaper to process and saves money by decreasing the potential for fraud.

You are absolutely correct about whites versus the stereotype.... Although, in some areas, not just rural whites, but all whites no matter where they live.

Citation?
If true, have you ever wondered why that is? What it is actually behind those numbers?

Besides all of that, the number of anglo/white/caucasoid recipients of aid is still much higher than all others and they reside in red states.
Funnier yet is that liberals don't begrudge helping our fellow citizens eat and not have to live in hobo camps.

That's from census data and math.

Besides all of that? Besides all of what? Reality?
You don't want to talk in per capita terms because it doesn't fit your assertion, that's reality.

You don't begrudge feeding them, why do you insist on trying to distort the reality of the situation?
You don't mind feeding the inbred teabaggers? Very admirable.
