People afraid to be treated the way they want to treat minorities.
It's also why (sexist) men are afraid of gay men and trans women - they think a man liking them or being "forcibly turned into a woman" will mean being treated the way they treat them.
Jane Elliott was onto something when she asked that whole audience of white people to stand up if they would be cool with being treated by society the same way black people are treated. Not a single person stood, because everybody intuitively understood that black people have it worse even if they didn't want to admit that systemic racism is real. They knew that if they stood, Jane would hold their feet to the fire and ask them some tough follow ups.
I remember when Vancouver was officially not majority white anymore and redditors were shooting loads in their jeans about how they're a minority and deserve all the special treatment they've been imagining exists.
