I support handicap parking spaces, but I don't support special parking spaces for women with children, or special parking for fat people. I recognize that negotiating a parking lot with small children can be difficult. I recognize walking long distances can be tiring for the overweight. However, neither of these examples rise to the same level as asking someone with emphysema to walk across a parking lot. The same reasoning applies to your examples. Being poor or a non-English speaker doesn't rise to the same level of disadvantage as being blind.
