Write about the commonalities you see developing between racial discrimination and oppression when compared to discrimination and oppression against those who refuse to take the clotshot. I am sure there is a whole wealth of parallels you can find. Warn that if we do not learn from history, we will create an entire new class of oppressed individuals.
This was my first thought as well. I've often argued that the very act of focusing on ANY specific group or supposedly marginalized people excludes everyone else. You can't have true inclusion without some form of exclusion where someone feels in some way, shape, or form left out. AND the practice of offering equal access, rights, etc. doesn't always end up in an equal position. It can lead to more benefits or conditions that everyone isn't privy to.
Not sure what advice I can give, as I've written to a professor's slant too many times in my degree programs...and I'm not proud of it. But, think of it this way. You're not going to change a mind, but you can give a good counter argument in the paper, which is always the best option. Give him what he wants while at the same time saying what you need to express. If he gives you any grief, just let him know you were being inclusive to his views. ;)
