Hmm... going by wealth. That would be an interesting way to do it, and it well might work... since it is the class status and not race that determines how minorities will do, generally.
Also... yes, Republicans do assume that equal = fair. We do not.
It is in many issues other than this one as well. Look at gay rights... Republicans say that Equal = Fair. I say that Equal is about as far from fair as you can get, just like in your example with the disabled person. But I guess they don't mind that since they dislike homosexuals anyway and would probably rather that it stays legal to discriminate against them.
