Being the oppressor vs the oppressed is more tied to having power or not than any particular ideology. Humans abuse power, and every group, every faction, is made up of humans.

This is you debunking the victim mentality that white people are oppressed. Thank you.

I would say its unhelpful to think of white people as a cohesive whole, but rather by age and class. Middle and higher white boomers are the clearest holders of power, the least oppressed by far. However one to could argue that within middle class circles, gen z/alpha white people are socially ostracized and within the sub-culture seen in many negative stereotypes.

Particularly gen z/alpha white men without money or fame, they do not have social power, media power, financial power, or reproductive power. But I stress this is particularly for that sub-group.

Sure that’s true, but because they’re white they’re not being oppressed in the same way POC gen z/alpha people are. My white friends without money or fame don’t get weird looks in public, have people looking over their shoulder, and don’t get in bad situations with cops for existing

Hmm… Perhaps its time to move beyond an oppression ladder or binary? There are ways POC are oppressed, and ways white people are, and theyre not mutually exclusive. The cop who is profiling is also in his own way being oppressed by the system, the person being profiled who takes it out on the nerdy white kid at school is being an oppressor in a different system
