The highly protected status of these groups is intended to protect them from lower class citizens

What?

Can you clarify this, because it sounds like you're claiming these laws were built by the elite or ruling class to protect minorities from the perceived prejudices of the lower class, "unwashed masses".

Imagine thinking boasting about how you'd physically assault a disabled person would get you anything but mockery from us.

Come on, they aren't crippled. You'd think a guy with an affliction that has them spout out insults would learn to fight out of necessity

It is more through selective enforcement, and not always about protecting from prejudice, and not even about all minorities, but essentially yes. Problems arise when two higher class groups come into conflict like they have here and it is not well established which takes priority over the other.
