The song does not apply to all groups who are currently receiving "equal rights" protections under the law...that would presume that NOfx are against those sorts of things...looking at their ideological make-up i just don't think that is the case.
Junkie has it right...the song is refering to a specific kind of person (or specific person in this instance)...the type of person who not only complains about the "system" but also abuses it.
@manicmarkus No, the song doesn't apply to all groups, but Fat Mike did says that that it could apply to all sorts of people. And, unfortunately, there are some minorities that most definitely do abuse the system while complaining that they deserve more and more and more.

One of my pals had this family that lived next door to him and the mother was on welfare, the aunt was on welfare, the uncle was on welfare, the father was on welfare, one son was on disability, the other sold drugs and their daughter was collecting welfare, SNAPS and all sorts...
One of my pals had this family that lived next door to him and the mother was on welfare, the aunt was on welfare, the uncle was on welfare, the father was on welfare, one son was on disability, the other sold drugs and their daughter was collecting welfare, SNAPS and all sorts of other stuff for her three kids out of wedlock. The entire family all knew that they couldn't be on welfare for the entire year (welfare reforms under Clinton added timeframes and work requirements), so they all coordinated the timing of their welfare applications so that they could always be collecting a check. They knew what they were doing, for sure, and the son on disability (who was high-functioning autistic) would play it up as if he were Gilbert Grape whenever he had to go reapply for disability.
When my friend asked the daughter if she wanted him to esquire about any secretary jobs at his place of work, the daughter and mother and uncle all laughed while sitting on their porch and the daughter said, "why would I get a job? The government sends me a check for doing nothing and I don't get that if I have a job."
Typically, the ones who complain the most about not getting their fair share are the ones who expect it to be given to them.
Derped on autocorrect. "if she wanted him to esquire about any secretary jobs at his place of work" should have been "if she wanted him to INQUIRE about any secretary jobs at his place of work."
