All POC should be against this type of thing. What they are saying, literally, when they do these types of things is the POC are not capable of being as intelligent as whitey. Affirmative action is another one. Yeah, you got a job because you black, Latino, whatever....not because you were the most qualified (in some cases not qualified at all) for the particular position. Essentially saying the same thing, they POC are not capable of meeting the same job qualifications of whites.

Why should they be against it? They're getting real material benefits from these sorts of initiatives, that's more valuable than any notion of pride for them, and they simply believe they're less capable because of racism rather than innate ability.

Yes, exactly. They just double down on lies. These standards were created by whites to reinforce white supremacy. They also believe or pretend to believe, that any non-white underachievement is 100% caused by systemic racism and oppression. Non-whites literally can't do anything wrong that isn't caused by whitey.
