If someone is born in a country, they are citizens of that country. I realize this isn't how it works in a lot of places. However, if they aren't citizens of the country of their birth, what country are they citizens of? The country of their parent's birth? A place they may have never even visited? That is nonsensical. People of Italian ancestry are citizens of Italy by virtue of being born there, so how is supporting this same privilege for minorities in any way biased or special treatment? This is equal treatment of people without regard to their ethnic background.
