I'm honestly not sure. Until now, I had no idea that was a special type of green card. The second-to-last chart in that article mentions employment as an admission category, so maybe? Better sources are welcome.

In either case, pretty much every source I'm aware of shows immigration to the US as predominantly non-white, so I'd like to see the claim that it appeases southern segregationists backed up by some evidence.

Only about 14% of total green cards are work based. The rest are family based.
