A white guy pleading infirmity due to gayness or obesity or general weakness might pull it off. An amputee could pull it off.
The more visible or affected the "minority exemption," the easier it is to pull off such a stunt.
But a minority guy who had refused his "minority exemption" (like a Black soldier or just plain patriot)...he can't pull it off.
So it's not just the minority status of the person speaking, it's whether or not the person speaking is gutless enough to hide behind the momma's skirt tail of his "minority exception."
A Black quadruple amputee, burn victim who refused to be treated as a victim would cause just as much outrage. Perhaps even more for refusing to wallow in victimhood.
Anyway, awfully damn early to be gettin' so serious.;-)
Im a white man amputee..no you can not pull it off...its give zero cover with the PC crowd
