> Is being part of a minority prerequisite for personal health care?

Discrimination doesn’t have to be racial. You can be discriminated because of a handicap.

From Cambridge dictionary

> discriminate verb (TREAT DIFFERENTLY) > to treat a person or particular group of people differently, especially in a worse way from the way in which you treat other people, because of their race, gender, sexuality, etc.



Sure, I life with a disability, that my country categorizes as "100%" since 40 years. I am working 40h/week since more than 25 years. However, I have never made use of "discrimination laws", simply because I am convinced, if a workplace is toxic enough to force me to do that, it is best to leave. You might win the battle, but you will definitely loose the war. People, and upper management, will make you pay for playing crybaby.
