Actually, that's not entirely true.  While John didn't present any specific statistics, data is readily available demonstrating that the median income of African Americans and Latinos in the US is $25,000 lower than whites, and that the poverty rate among African Americans and Latinos is close to three times that of whites.

Given these facts, it is not exactly a stretch of logic to point out that reductions in public school funding, low income housing, health insurance programs and minimum wage would disproportionately impact those who depend on these services, which would mean the impact would be greater within the African American and Latino populations.

These statistics aren't difficult to find, nor are these conclusions difficult to draw.  However, as you said, John didn't provide them.  Perhaps he gives the general public more credit for rational thought than is warranted.  Good feedback.  Thank you.
