Phoning the E-R

As a new member of a minority in California (non-Latino whites, 40.1%), am I now eligible to demand preferential treatment like the members of previous groups such as some blacks, non-smokers, pot smokers, gays and lesbians, and the vegetarian who, on Tuesday, asked for some additional liberal punishment for his omnivorous neighbors whose barbecues he wants to ban?

ON FRIDAY I received a call from the "transcriber" at the E-R. I suspect she couldn't believe how truthful I was, and wanted to verify that's what I actually said. She hid her dismay well, and didn't ask me if I meant it.
