Over the same time period, we can note the spread of the automobile, women in the workforce, all kinds of vaccines, technology, modern education techniques and a zillion other things. They all happened while out of wedlock births were shooting up. So correlating that chart to the welfare system without much more rigorous testing is a prejudice, yes.

So, you think displaying a census chart (not my chart) of out of wedlock births shows prejudice. Interesting. Of course. It's in your choice of the material to demonstrate your argument and your failure to tie the two together. I gather you believe that out of wedlock births produce bad social consequences and that a chart showing differences between ethnic groupings without introducing any other variables will show causation between ethnicity and your bad social consequences. It's sufficiently weak reasoning to raise the question of what sort of motives prompted the argument.
