Because people assume they must be there for "diversity reasons", which is assuming that they are being artificially raised up in a way that disadvantages everyone else. It's one step removed, but the point stands.

We can't just ignore the imbalance that exists due to past inequality, act equally now and pretend there are no problems any more. Fixing that imbalance doesn't have to mean pulling anyone down, and that response ("it must be because they are taking the opportunity from someone else who is more capable") needs to be fixed, not the act of trying to pull people up to fix past wrongs.
