I agree this rule doesn’t read very well. I would much prefer that all groups are treated equally. However, if you want to give reddit the benefit of the doubt, here is why this rule might make sense:
A reason to have a rule that only protects certain groups of people could be because of limited resources for enforcement. It might be that you only have enough manpower to protect some people, and not everyone.
And if you have to choose which groups to protect, it makes sense to protect the minority groups. The people that are part of a majority group have the protection of the mob, the crowd.
I don’t know how many admins reddit has for enforcing these rules. If they are short-handed, this rule begins to make more sense.
There is the nuance of determining what group constitutes a minority group, as others have pointed out.
