This is the worst kind of rhetoric. Probably all groups who were ever oppressed suffered a little bit more than just people criticizing them. I guess your empathy did not go far enough to realize that?
- atlantic 12y agoWhat he's saying is that all oppressed groups suffer from prejudice before all else. Prejudice is the facilitator for all forms of oppressive behaviour. And prejudice against the supposedly privileged is a prejudice like any other. No rhetoric there.
- bakhy 11y agoyes, prejudice is prejudice. and prejudice may be a facilitator of oppression (although one could talk of chicken and egg here). but prejudice is still NOT oppression. it takes more than prejudice for oppression to take place. some people, you may be surprised, go through a lot more than just experiencing occasional stereotyping. take this example - while a lot of str8 men may now be worried someone will falsely accuse them of being sexist or homophobes, I literally do not know a single gay person (I'm gay, I know a few gay people) that did not experience physical or verbal violence at least once.
