It is unfair to exclude other people from these services on the basis of characteristics that they do not control.

My heretical comment. Any neutral policy that helps white man from a poor low education background will help a black man from the same. Probably even more. My snide thought on why people don't want to pursue such things is those things tend to flatten the class structure. Where policies that try to make the upper class more diverse don't.
