Your article is fantastic, but perhaps the one phrase that made my full body shiver was “Empowering an underprivileged group with the same abilities as the rest of the country is not a gift; it is a basic civil right.” So. Incredibly. True. Although I would probably say “empowering an underprivileged group with the same RIGHTS as the rest of the country”, I fully agree. Empowering a group does not disempower another. In this case, it’s not a zero-sum game. Beautiful article.
