This points out how other minorities in other countries are emasculated, but I think I'm asking, if this is a good strategy to employ as a group under threat, why aren't all minorities under threat doing this?

It's not something groups do to themselves, it's something that is regularly done to minorities that occupy a specific niche ("middleman minorities") by the surrounding societies -- though, as the excerpt points out, aligned with adaptive traits the groups adopt.

I think I wanna know more about the different ways different minority niches are treated, and a list or those niches and what the qualifications are for them
