Or take religion, Intolerance (Christians) in modern America is -5 Points and Intolerance (Non-Christians) is -10 points but Christians make up a (much) larger share of the population.
The assumption with Intolerance is that you don't have it against the dominant group in the setting but against the minorities. When you have a beef against people you encounter constantly but who hold the power, either you manage to keep it under wraps, or you end up with bad reputations and OPHs.
