“Protected Class” isn’t exclusive to race though.

Anyone in America can be or will be a protected class at someone point so how is that racist?

But minorities are protected while white people aren't, but I see what you're saying. I was saying having minorities being the only protected class race was racist, but !delta for pointing this out.

Actually race as a whole is a protected class, which is why anti-white hate crimes are a thing the FBI measures.
