I was just stating a fact. If you say "This is America, speak English" you will not get the support of people who don't speak English. Likewise, if you say that you believe minorities have a substantial advantage over whites, than you will loose the votes of minorities.

Regardless of whether what they say is correct or not, they will still suffer at the ballot box for making such comments.

I think it is pretty clear that being born into either of the demographics you mentioned is a disadvantage.
