From my point of view America is much larger than the US. I wouldn't write 'european' and mean 'polish'. Between usian and usaian I prefer the former.

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.
