While an Example of Policy Informed by Attention to the Strengths

While an example of policy informed by attention to the strengths of the target population, the GI Bill's impact on racial equality can best be characterized by:

A) GI Bill benefits closed the racial wealth gap
B) policymakers were afraid to upset the Jim Crow status quo, so GI Bill benefits were only offered to white veterans
C) members of Congress wanted to impress foreign allies and opponents with their commitment to racial equality, so the GI Bill was primarily designed to help veterans of color
D) benefits were nominally available universally, regardless of race, but racial inequities in education and housing systems ensured that the legislation perpetuated racial injustice
