Not asking for special privileges or protections.

Asking for the same privileges and protections afforded to everyone else.

My understanding is that the protected classes are the only ones afforded protections related to these things.

Protected classes as a legal concept in the US is two lists, one federal and then state law. In that context you are either on either of them or you are not, and depending on the answer you get certain protections.

In EU there is no such list. Anti-discrimination law is quite a bit broader here, but so is also the exceptions.
