Because denying somebody the right to vote, their freedom of speech, their ability to form labor unions, and so on would get pushback whether a human or a robot alike is the victim?
So then it would be like:
A)Like you said.
B)Like you said.
C)Cold war kind of situation between 1]North Korean esque civilizations that have this scary elite of certain humans in charge plus endless legions of enslaved-ish robots and some people awkwardly coexisting in the same space as them and 2]a hodgepodge of everybody else in various democratic-ish civilizations including most humans and all of the advanced, free robots.
After all, I have more in common right now with somebody like Data (if he was real) then I would with Elon Musk in terms of ethics, morals, philosophies, personal preferences, and like almost everything else beyond the biological.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is maybe an interesting example of C) because nightmare totalitarian societies such as the Dark Elves and others coexist with superhero alliances such as Guardians of the Galaxy and the Avengers where a highly-advanced robot and a guy from Earth get treated more or less the same.
