    "You are to endeavour, by every possible means to open an intercourse with the natives, and to conciliate their affections, enjoining all our subjects to live in amity and kindness with them. And if any of our subjects shall want only destroy them, or give them any unnecessary interruptions in the exercise of their several occupations, it is our will and pleasure that you do cause such offenders to be brought to punishment according to the degree of the offence"

    Regardless of the narrative, all people are created equal and born with inalienable rights. Any law or constitution that seeks to separate and class individuals by immutable characteristics is fundamentally racist and only serves to roll back to a time when slavery was accepted.

The push for "a voice" based on immutable racial characteristics walks us all back towards slavery... it's anything but progressive... it's simply racist.
