So, the problem here is that we have large swathes of people trapped in cycles of disadvantage and failure, and giving some people the opportunity to raise themselves above those cycles isn't a valid solution?
I don't think we can solve inequality by intentionally adding more inequality
If this happened to someone who was white and non-Muslim, i don't think we would care as much or invite him to the white house and give him a job at NASA
I know i would be completely fine with being arrested for something i didn't do, found innocent, and released, if that meant i was invited to the white house and got a job at NASA.
