This drives me nuts. The only worse thing to me is the people that blow them on crazy stuff life steak and lobster. When I worked at Costco people would get made when they couldn't buy energy drinks or alcohol on EBT(AZ food stamp card). I wanted to knock their heads off. It is crazy the 100s of dollars they get. It's not even a reasonable amount. Passed a 7-11 a while back that said now accepting EBT cards. It's no wonder obesity is worst among the poor.
Also consider this last census of the US.
White 69.1%
Black 12.1%
Asian 3.6%
Hispanic or Latin 12.4%
