> usian Indian, and the term is "American." We're speaking English - in English we have two separate continents, North and South America, or just "Americas." Further, no other nation state uses the term "America" in its name. So when people say "American," they mean the USA, not Peru. So, unless you want to speak Spanish (more than happy to), or Peru changes its name to American Republic of Peru, it's American, not "usian" >kinda telling why would I know every single oppressed group. Kinda telling that this is your reaction and kinda telling on your political leanings too when you can't give any other reasonable objections. (See, I can do this too lol - it's a dumb argument). |

Right, why would one try to learn about oppressed groups? One reason could be to develop a sense of solidarity and community with larger portions of humanity than whatever social strata one has been allotted in one's local society. Another could be to find patterns of oppression to make it easier to see them in one's local society, where one is hampered by being like a fish in water. It could also flow from some stance on ethics, or slogan like 'as long as there are unfree people, none of us are free'.
Now you explain why this is profoundly unreasonable and obviously not a good idea.
