Lol, kinda fucked up (but unfortunately not surprising) that most people seem more upset that they're trying to make anyone other than white people an "oppressor" rather than realizing the criteria for who is oppressed or not is complete politically motivated bullshit.
And of course the main thing making them an "oppressor" class is racism, specifically against black people. You would think general racism would be enough, but apparently it's worse when you do it to black people. I also like how in the "how are they oppressed" section, they make sure to frame it so the only ones doing any potential oppressing are white people.
And if one of the minorities says it doesn't offend them, well you're privileged enough to not have experienced true racism. I've always told my friends your intent matters more than words. If they want to use yellow or Jap around me, whatever, I couldn't care less.
I've been saying it forever, asians are the next race on the chopping block.

We knew that. Too many do well (in some areas, better than whites) and actually lived under Communism for them to be all that useful to the cause.

I prefer the company of peaseants for they have not been sufficiently educated to reason incorrectly.

That's a lot of impressive faggotry in that thread, but I suppose that's to be expected on a western university subreddit.
