People of color have never been afforded truly equal opportunity because they’ve always been historically judged on their ability, character, and value based on their skin color. Increased chances of employment and higher education can give disadvantaged minority groups a bigger boost and essentially a fair chance in society.

Volk’s Moral Minorities and the Making of American Democracy, is an incredible study.
