That’s my point though, those numbers are meaningless. What if I gave you these numbers:

White not on food stamps: 122.6 million

Black not on food stamps: 33.2 million

There are zero valid conclusions to be drawn.

Analyzing the actual numbers, it seems a random black person is 3x more likely to be on food stamps than a random white person in the US.

(0.25/0.13) / (0.38/0.59) = 2.99
