    I think there are better ways to achieve that than letting all of the horses finish the race and then reordering them based on color. It’s using a sledge hammer to do the job of a scalpel and it is racist to both those who it aims to benefit and those who “experience less privilege”. Change needs to happen before that, at the community level, which I am not against the government funding.
