No the strategy is associate drugs with minorities to make being a minority illegal.

Ehrlichman told Baum. "We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

This is an unverified quote from someone last in office in 1969, about president Nixon who he may have had a grudge against. But if so, which minority is being targeted with the cool-whip ban?

People in the counter culture who are against war mongering are historically considered to be a minority

The term "minority" is not only about race

[hot_gril]

Nobody said it was only race.

I'm wondering why the question was presented in the first place then, as this is in the quote:

>make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana

[hot_gril]

I asked which minority is being targeted, not which race. Hippies and anti-war aren't a race either.

Hippies and anti-war are the minority, which is specified in the quote. Hence my clarification. So why was the question presented?
