the race, gender, etc. card
idiom disapproving
If someone accuses someone else of playing the race, gender, etc. card, they think that person is trying to gain special treatment because of their race, gender etc. :
play the gender cardHe claims that talk of sexism is playing the gender card, attempting to distract from the fact that she did not do well in the debate.
