Should minorities have special rights

In the US, generally speaking, minorities have the same rights as other citizens. In a state or large city there may be five or six minority groups. Enforcing laws would become very difficult, especially if there is a doubt concerning a person's nationality or race. For example, if Native Americans had special rights in New York City, there may be a question regarding if indeed they are Native Americans. In many places and in Federal Laws, there are what are called hate crimes. This normally applies to minorities or people with gender related issues. If such a minority has a crime committed against them, there are special laws that apply to such a person being targeted because they are Chinese, as one example. These laws are needed to protect minorities from hate crimes.
