Roll up for victimhood poker! Sarika Singh gets a winning hand.

From the BBC:

A 14-year-old Sikh girl has won her High Court discrimination claim against her school after it excluded her for breaking its "no jewellery" rule.

Sarika Singh, from Cwmbach, south Wales, was excluded by Aberdare Girls' School in November 2007 for refusing to take off her religious bangle.

A High Court judge in London ruled on the controversial matter after reserving judgement last month.

A fine example of "victimhood poker" in action:Link to Dick list and details of the game.

First up she scores an 8 just for being a woman.
Plus a four for being a non Christian.
Oh, plus a stonking great 7 for being "Asian." - Next up we shall see how much in damages Sarika Singh gets for "emotional distress", "racial predudice" and whatever reasons her lawyers can dream up.

**The rules:CARD CLASSES AND RULES

There are 2 skin color cards (Black, White)
There are 4 ethnicity cards (Native American, Hispanic, Oriental, Hindu)
There are 2 gender cards (Female, Transformer)
There are 4 religion cards (Muslim, Non-Christian, Hindu, and Christian)
There are 2 economic class cards (Poor, Well Off)
There are 3 cards without a class (Gay, Handicapped, and Animal)
There are 4 Jokers (Christian, Well Off, White, and Straight)
The winning hand combines the highest point total of each class of cards. The winning hand may comprise of only ONE of each class; 5 cards are initially dealt and the player chooses the most valuable cards to make up the best possible victim. After the first 5 are dealt, bets are taken and player can fold/raise as they choose.

After bets are taken, 3 community cards are dealt to the center of the table, not unlike Texas Hold 'em.

GAMEPLAY

For example, lets say player 1 is dealt a hand of: Black (A), Transgender (10), Non-Christian (4), Christian (Jo), Muslim (Q). Black, as an Ace, has a value of 14 points, Muslim is worth 12, Transgender is worth 10, Non-Christian is worth 4, and Christian, as a Joker, is valueless. To make the winning hand, player 1 must choose between the three religion cards but will obviously choose Muslim since Non-Christain is only worth 4 points and Christian is a Joker.

Thus, the most victimized hand player 1 can assemble from the cards he's been dealt is a Transgendered Gay Black Muslim, which is worth 45 points total.

Now, lets say player 2 receives a hand of American Indian (K), Hispanic (Q), Oriental (7), Handicapped (6), Female (8). Since American Indian, Hispanic, and Oriental are all ethnicities, only ONE can be chosen of the bunch. Player 2 is compelled to choose American Indian, since it is a King and thus bears the value of 13 points versus Hispanic (11 points) or Oriental (7 points). Female and Handicapped, however, can now be added to the mix because Female is of the gender class and Handicapped has no card class. Thus, the best possible victim player 2 can assemble from the first round of cards is a Handicapped American Indian Woman, which bears a point total of 27 points.
Obviously, the winner has the highest possible point total from the cards dealt between their hand and the community cards.

Hours of legal fun and all paid for by the UK taxpayers....
