That's an interpretation I didn't see at all, and I don't believe is supported by the wording of the statement. Being aware of a group and deciding how that group ought to be treated does not mean they will be treated differently for being members of that group.

I still think you're applying a bias here, and the statement is designed to expose those biases because it really isn't saying anything at all. Aside from the not changing part, which as I said I disagree with.
