The purpose of such groups is simply to represent their constituents in a way to maximize their gain. Equality is not their goal. Any representative group is not doing its job if they don't try to obtain the most representation possible for the people being represented....even if it is beyond equality. The arguments of inequality, at some point, just become a tool to gain even more after the real issue of inequality has been addressed and neutralized.
