Why isn't that a valid argument? Couldn't basically the same exact program exist without making membership expressly based on race? It could invite participants that are immigrants or first-generation children of immigrants. It could invite participants that come from families having an income below a certain threshold. It could do both in combination. Or, I think it would even be more targeted to open the program to people that are descendants those that were historically oppressed or disadvantaged by a ruling majority in the U.S. I think there are many ways to accomplish essentially the same goal without setting membership criteria based solely on race.
