Welfare and Race [ 6 Nov 1994 ]

I recall hearing that the majority of recipients of welfare (and/or AFDC) are white even though "welfare" is frequently treated as a governmental program for people (women) of color.
Does any one have a citation for this and how is "welfare" defined (i.e. which programs) when this statement is made.
Thank you
Nancy
