I looked up poverty rate by ethnicity. (kff.org Home/State Health Facts/Demographics and the Economy/People in Poverty/Poverty Rate by Race/Ethnicity) (no idea how valid it is, but assuming it is somewhat accurate)
2019: 12.3% of Americans below poverty line. 21.2% of those were 'black' or 'colored' as you say.
How would you know you were not just excluding Hispanic, white, multiple race or native poor people with an ID law?
