Some of your "nevers" are a bit too strong. While a majority where I was born, I spent 10+ years as a minority relative to my surroundings and definitely got different treatment, in some cases in a disagreeable way and sometimes favorably. The world is more complex than just blacks & whites in the USA - there's cantonese/mandarin speaker discrimination, caste discrimination, fluent vs accented mandarin speaking ability, being from the wrong side of the tracks/from the wrong neighborhood or social class discrimination independent of race. Heck, black and white cops like each other and hate firemen of all races with a passion; Non-muslims have paid Jizya in Muslim countries. So I agree that minimizing discrimination shouldn't be done, but I disagree that this is something the racial or gender majority never experiences. I agree it is wrong to live in your own privilege and unfairly judge other people, but I think experience of both sides of the experience are more universal than you suggest. In fact I think we should emphasize the extent of the problem on all axes, as a way to make people come to the moral realization that they should judge people as individuals and not by any other group trait - because they should remember how wrong it was when someone did it to them.
