>More likely they are invoking their famous card. The minority card had no advantages.

I think if you're famous/succesful, the minority/victim card can be played to your advantage too.

If you're a poor/unknown minority, nobody gives a fuck.

The same way few care or write indignant posts for sex trafficking victims or exploited immigrant people, but if some minority member at some $1000/person conference hears something they that hurts their feelings, it warrants a small media/social-media storm.

It's the upper middle class minority version of "white people's problems".
