Sight of the dangers of stereotyping. See, my disagreement with you is that this is just “some people’s” viewpoints regarding sweeping ethnic generalizations about oppression. It is an actively taught worldview, based entirely on ethnic bucketing.

This is another link I recall posted here, about a U of AZ class for aspiring educators, whereby the teachers freely admit that they were teaching about the conflict based on their understanding of broad stereotypes about oppression. I agree with the U that the teachers weren’t being anti-Semitic. They were being absurdly simplistic, and were teaching that simplicity to aspiring teachers to teach to their K-12 students. The feedback loop in academia.

This is the problem - one can dismiss this as just an attack against elites, or as the less bad illiberalism on the political spectrum, or mere white fragility, or all just completely made up. But it isn’t made up. This isn’t just a worldview held by some people. It is a worldview being actively pushed across academia. If the notion of all white people being oppressors, or all black people being oppressed, gets under your skin, the thing to do is look into why it’s so prevalent, particularly in academia, and how to counter it.
