Rights of threatened populations

This is a thing at my work now.
From an email earlier today (keywords redacted):
"A few entities . . . have allied to organize and sponsor a forum for the community to discuss the rights of threatened populations, such as the undocumented, religious minorities, LGBTQ, and people of color, in the changing political atmosphere in the U.S. We have invited local attorneys to speak on this topic tomorrow night."
How do I say I feel threatened by their threatened populations?

Is switching jobs a possibility?!?! Your workplace sounds like a college campus.

Here is how it works. If you are in the majority, you can set the law, even if it is unfair to others. If you are in a minority, you have "rights" which set the bar for how much the majority can oppress you. Human rights protect the minority from the oppression of the majority. These minority groups are concerned about oppression under the current political trends, so they are preparing to protect themselves through appeals to their rights.
This is all natural and normal.
If you take the position that they have no rights, you are a person who will be constrained by the rights of the oppressed.

File a hostile work environment complaint on the grounds that white, steaight men are being tacitly singled out as the threatener.

It's being sponsored by our "Division of Institutional Equity & Diversity" . . . and the Women's and Gender Studies department of course.

It's getting to the point where that's becoming a conceivable option, sad to say.

Ding ding ding! Get the heck out if you can. As someone who has worked on a college campus, although some years ago, get out if you want to maintain your sanity. I feel your pain! (and I'm not even a white straight male)

We used to have one of these at Tennessee. But then last year, the department sent a memo to students instructing them to use gender neutral pronouns.
The University of Tennessee responded by defunding and closing the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, PERMANENTLY.

Add to that the following:
Latino & Latin American Studies
African-American Studies
Jewish Studies
Queer Studies
. . . and Communications, which is basically the same department as all of the above

I'd like to add Criminology and Political Science. At least the way it's being taught these days. And given all of the snowflakes majoring in these really useful fields.

Poli Sci I'm fine with. Criminology should likely be purely an Associate's degree. Kinesiology should be abolished as no one knows what it is, even people with degrees in it.
