Just because you have a name for non-Jews doesn't make it a cohesive group and most importantly nowhere near a minority.

It's insane to say discriminating against a minority is like affirmative action for everyone else. So if I don't like Bob I could phrase it that it's not that I don't like him--I do!-- it's just that I like everyone else better (including other people I dislike). And for someone to fall for that would be ridiculous.

Affirmative action is not just for minorities... in some (many?) places, the historically excluded group form a majority.

And yet, Russians have never been the historically excluded group in Russia. Jews were.
