When you’re asking if 100% of a particular minority group is worth caring about, your intentions are laid bare.

Are they? Where do the Albino prisoners fit in this? Or the differently abled? You can fold the list down and you will see how 100% is a fools errand. Then one argues is "These people aren't as big as my group why would they matter?". You can care and not put 100%, then it falls into "all people matter" phase.

You saying “are they too small to care about” is asking if the entire group is worth caring about.

This is distinct from what you’re saying now, which is “can we care about the entirety of this group”?

First you’re comparing minority to majority. Second you’re comparing a subset of a minority to the greater group, and claiming the impossibility of this is your argument.

It was not. My comment was pointing out you’re tossing out 100% of a group.

It's impossible to toss 100% of a group because there are minority within minorities that will get the short end of the stick.

That’s two non-sequiturs. I’m left to conclude you’re a bot.
