Say you're living in 1930s Germany and you have the opportunity to either vote for or against the National Socialist German Workers' Party. If you're Aryan, you may have the luxury of thinking, "meh, same shit either way, I don't really care about politics". Other people in that society - Jews, Roma, homosexuals, etc. - don't have such a luxury. As minorities, they depend on what you and the rest of the electorate choose. One could argue therefore, that you have some of the burden of blame to bear if that outcome does end up impacting them with some kind of negative consequences...
