    “Because it’s easier” is not a good excuse for discrimination, IMO.

      The choice is “help people from systematically disadvantaged groups” or “don’t.” I’d argue that the “don’t” would be the easier choice.

        No, that’s a false dichotomy, there are other choices. Such as “help disadvantaged people regardless of their genetics.” I reject the “but it’s too hard” argument. If racial discrimination or gender discrimination or discrimination based on orientation is wrong, then it’s wrong. Don’t put an asterisk on it with a list of types that it’s okay for.

            I already did that in the comment you’re responding to:

            Such as “help disadvantaged people regardless of their genetics.”

            Or two comments previous to this one:

            Why not just “disadvantaged people”? That takes race out of the equation entirely, and everyone is satisfied.

            How often do you need it repeated?
