I think it is pretty racist. To suggest that people of color can't even feed or protect themselves from rats without the help of white people is very condescending. Also, creating the framework that 'every dollar spent on advancing the species as a whole should be spent on people of color' carries the opposite implication; 'every dollar spent on mendicant people of color is one dollar taken away from advancing the species'. At best it is likely to stir up racial resentment and at worst it might make the productive nations and races decide that money spent on historically marginal people is a waste. Just a bad message all around.

Equality doesn't exist in nature and it's proponents, uncaring, probably know it, but it isn't equality which they seek; they seek to reduce the White man to a headless automaton, with no memory of his former spiritual awareness and no way even of knowing that something vital has been stolen.
