I respect your reluctance to accept any special treatment, but...
Let me point out that, in fact, children who have grown up bilingually have a different developmental trajectory in terms of their language development, so it makes sense not to penalize them because of this difference. And of course, we should not penalize other minority groups because of their circumstances either, but does it make sense to insist that, just because we don't have complete equity for all groups, we should not try to promote equity for any groups at all?
I realize that reasonable people can disagree on these attempts to restore equity in an inequitable world...
