In the USA today (and many other places, but I'm in the US), anyone of any kind of minority is the target of beatings, kidnappings and possibly public executions by the government right now. Not exactly something you can ignore.

That is not remotely true. We can have a discussion about the government's excesses, but in no way is everyone of all minorities subject to such things. The vast majority of people in the US, minority or otherwise, are living their lives peacefully without any sort of threat hanging over them.
