ppl who dont understand the dynamic of ethnic oppression in europe obviously havent gotten to that unit in 7th grade history how close minded and uneducated can u be to not understand that all racism is oppression but not all oppression is racism how can u turn a blind eye to the fact that yes a great vast majority of holocaust victims were white but would u not classify the deadliest genocide in history as oppression??? when franco was trying to wipe out non-castilian ethnic groups in spain like the catalans and the basques and the galicians was that not oppression???? what about the balkan conflicts in the 90s??? yes somewhere within their histories these oppressed groups have benefited from white/european privilege but that doesn’t mean that they haven’t been oppressed and targeted and killed off because the american formula for discrimination is not something that can be applied to the rest of the world’s history esp countries that have been somewhat racially homogenous until the modern globalized era
