i didn't refer to people as a thing. I referred to race as a thing. Hence "There are more whites on welfare than anything else."I disagree. "Anything" refers to the races and I didnt use the word "most". I said more.There are more whites on welfare than anything else.
I believe you meant that to read "than anyone else". The way the sentence is written, it states that most whites are on welfare. That is demonstrably untrue.
There is no ethnicity in America where the majority of its members are on public assistance.
People (regardless of race) are typically not referred to as "things". So, the use of anything makes subject of the verb "on" the welfare, not whites. The object of the verb is whites, not welfare.
So, as it is written, "More whites are on welfare, than anything (of all possible ways of making a living) else". Meaning, most whites are on welfare.
Ideally, and to make the meaning more clear, "More whites are on welfare than anyone else.", would be the preferred usage, if that is what you meant to say.
"whites" is plural and "anyone" is singular. That shit dont agree.
