They're still screwed in terms of social equality and justice.

Other minority groups have similar problems. They can't get the jobs that will allow them to feed and house their families, because of something about them they have no control over.

Economic justice is important. So is social justice. Neither can succeed without the other. And that's a fact. It's not one or the other that is needed. It is decidedly BOTH.
