Their special status isn't enshrined in law as much as it is in practice. That little thing called the 'race card' still has unbelievable powers beyond that of any written document or standing army. Collectively as a people we enpower it, individually we loathe it's useage. Why is it called the 'race card'? Well according to wikipedia it means:
"an idiomatic phrase, referring to an allegation raised against a person who has unnecessarily brought the issue of race or racism into a debate so as to obfuscate the matter."

Until a government and a few judges in court grow the testicular fortitute to evaluate their issue on the surface and beyond what our ancestors did to their ancestors in times past we'll never get past this.
