Well, why would the "majority" get certain perks, when they are the ones who already HAVE the perks?

If those who are part of the "minority" weren't considered less than the "majority" (in value) in the first place, this wouldn't even be a topic of discussion (meaning no one would be complaining about certain people getting special treatment, etc.).
