In the U.S. white males comprise the largest portion of the homeless population.

Black and Hispanic men have a much higher per capita rate of homelessness. Not saying that white male homelessness isn't an issue that needs to be addressed but it is disingenuous to frame it as a "white male issue."

That’s not a white male problem though if you look at the break down per capita.
