"group of people we (as humanity) want to privilege to offset the years of discrimination" -->the humanity part is the part that have a problem with tbh (explanation below)

The "(as humanity)" should be removed. A protected class in US/UK might of been the oppresor in other countries. Example below.

Romania and Bulgaria have been invaded countless times by the ottoman empire for hundreds of years. Why would a romanian or bulgarian even consider protecting them(muslims)? Black were part of that same force(and high ranking officials) that pillaged the 2 countries. Why would eastern europeans even owe them anything?

EDIT: As an eastern European I don't ower any of them any protection. If anything those 2 classes owe us according to historical facts.
