Unfortunately I've seen first hand all to many times that some people automatically just play the minority card each time to avoid ever having to make an effort to help themselves. The only reason they still do it is because it works thanks to most white men having already been programmed to feel socially guilty for everyone elses failures by a society with a screwed up socialist agenda like yours.
So some people playing the minority card means that there aren't any talented minorities out there that are being held back by their circumstances?
You know what I have seen first hand? A hiring manager rejecting a resume solely based on the ethnicity of the name of applicant. In fact they had rejected several resumes for exactly the same reason. I couldn't believe that this stuff still happens but it does. And that's just an overt case. I'm sure minorities are passed over for more subtle reasons that have little or nothing to do with their actual qualifications.
Once I was literally told to think long and hard before offering a job to a black candidate we were interviewing by somebody who wasn't even involved in the interview process. This was for a business unit of a larger organization that prided itself on its diversity record. When I first started working in that unit I'd actually been a little surprised at how lily white the staff was compared to my previous job in the company. After awhile it became very clear that it wasn't exactly an accident.
