Because culture has been weaponized against minorities:
“The poverty rate among black married couples has been in single digits ever since 1994. You would never learn that from most of the media. Similarly if you look at those blacks that have gone on to college or finished college, the incarceration rate is some tiny fraction of what it is among those blacks who have dropped out of high school. So it’s not being black; it’s a way of life. Unfortunately, the way of life is being celebrated not only in rap music, but among the intelligentsia, is a way of life that leads to a lot of very big problems for most people.” - Thomas Sowell

Allegations of poor moral character are a stock racist talking point - which ignores the reality of the poor moral character of those who lean right but are privileged enough not to have to face consequences, and also the huge differences in social and economic opportunity.
