The narcissism of small differences (German: der Narzissmus der kleinen Differenzen) is the thesis that communities with adjoining territories and close relationships are especially likely to engage in feuds and mutual ridicule because of hypersensitivity to details of differentiation.

How is protection against domestic violence a group/minority right?
You already said that domestic violence could be made literally against anyone in the house. So it's still an individual right.
Even if it usually has been against a specific group, the law should still address every new case without prejudice.
This makes the term 'group right' a nonsense. So i think there only exists the individual rights.

I wish minorities would get the same rights as others instead of minorities getting more rights than non-minorities in canada.
