Abstract
Introduction: It has been commonly thought that if
ethnic, religious and national minorities
are allowed to give expression to their
respective group attachments, then that
should be deemed sufficient protection
against discrimination. Equality demands in democracies that all citizens
be entitled to similar rights and, there-
fore, it was deemed unnecessary for the
state or anyone else to treat minority
groups any differently. They did not
have to be provided with specific group-
differentiated rights, such as, for example, language rights that would assist
them in expressing their ethnicity, religion or nationality.
