That’s the thing, we are all some minority group in one way or another. It could be skin color, religion, height, weight, mental illness, location, education, religion, almost anything. Yet a certain type of person likes to swoop in and claim that only THEY are oppressed and everyone who disagrees with them is a prejudiced oppressor. But the truth is, a lot of us don’t like to lead with the things that make us a minority. It’s the assholes assuming we are all perfect specimens of some identity group they made up in their head (or read in a textbook) who are being the real assholes.
