I am a minority. So are you. I am unique. There is no one else that is in my exclusive category. Does that mean that I deserve special treatment for more than just being an individual created in the image of God? Since I am locked in my introspective shell I could accept such advantages but in my heart of hearts I know I should not have preference any more than anyone else.
In fact I am a multiple minority. There are slightly more women born than men. That makes me a minority. I have never been divorced. That makes me a minority. I have never been drunk. That makes me a minority. You can see where this is going.
There is a website that has this as its theme, The Smallest Minority. As far as I know it gets no government subsidies, although with current DOGE revelations you can never be sure.
Already minority status is meaningless unless there is clear discrimination being leveled at you as an individual because of some thing about you that you cannot change. Other than that it used to be called using common sense to make good selections.
I would ask you to join me but that might endanger my minority status.
