> They are the only reason you were allowed into the US and could become naturalized.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume this is meant as hyperbole. Still I feel like this comment falls into the same rut that has lead to the current college admissions debate.

Advocating for poor people does not have to be seen as an attempt to disenfranchise or minimize the opportunities of racial minorities.

Not hyperbole. Without the black civil rights fight, Asians wouldnt be able to migrate to the US and become naturalized.

Black Americans arent just poor or racial minorities, they were systematically robbed of the vast majority of their "early US investor" wealth by the state for centuries. They dont and shouldnt fall into the same category of other "racial minorities" and white women when it comes to these programs.
