There is a difference between my choosing to wear a reflective vest (to prevent being accidently shot) and someone else deciding I should wear a reflective target (to make shooting me easier).

Then again, you're probably being far subtler than I can discern, and are arguing that the vest can at the same time be the target.

    Gosh, I don't wear a reflective vest when riding my motorcycle. I didn't realise quite how much of a risk I was running!

      Not wearing the vest is a perfectly valid option as well.

      ( I didn't know it was legal to shoot motorcyclists in London. Your city has gotten more interesting since I was there last year... 8-) )

    There is no subtlety, just history. It's a Jew + Nazi reference (Godwin by implication).

      I understood the refernce, but believe TOD may have been arguing that concern in protecting someone who was different is the flip side of stigmatizing someone who is different.
