Hey,
You can perform a quick pubmed search to verify that this is a well studied risk factor for worse outcome in schizophrenia. It's not a matter of political correctness. There are many other 'risk factors' associated with worse outcome in schizophrenia and other mental health issues (i.e. low socioeconomic status).
In the very least, identifying the groups which may need the most assistance is the first step in allocating limited resources. Here is a 2018 study. You can easily search pubmed to find a plethora of research on risk factors.
