I think the gist of things like this is - at the risk of using a silly gaming analogy for something really serious - a "catch up mechanic" to bring about more equal representation sooner than just being genuinely fair and waiting for things to even out. There are philosophical cases to be made that the wrong must be righted asap, or that this approach is an instance of two wrongs not making a right. For me, assuming good intentions, I choose other things to be upset about than people being selectively nice or helpful to others who are dealing with a problem. I can understand the concern that leaning too hard in to this kind of thing can get out of hand, so as with everything, probably best to do our research and decide case by case.
