Not really true. Once a group, or groups, in society start to demand 
favored treatment, then the rest of society has every right to chime 
in and demand favored treatment. The only fair position is one of 
absolute equality under the law, with no favoritism given to any 
special interest group, ever. We've moved away from that model, and 
we're suffering because of that move.
