Their story and their obstacles are DIFFERENT from blacks and DIFFERENT from indigenous in a myriad of ways. To deny the difference leads to oversimplification of a complex issue and leads to all sorts of stereotypes, prejudices and racism against these groups.
Simple comparisons without a deeper examination into colonization, and systemic racism is how people start thinking the problem is inherent laziness or whatever dumb racist stereotype they've been brainwashed into thinking.

I'm not denying that there aren't differences but why are there differences, and differences by what measures?
Can we improve work ethic in groups? Is the measurement only success in education or success in other fields like arts, music and sports.
