The problem is not the status of "white people" on the oppression thermometer. The problem is the classification of people into Oppressed and Oppressor, rather than treating everyone as citizens with rights and responsibilities.

Once you classify society into righteous and un-righteous you unleashed unlimited social conflict. Sometimes, as in Turkey and Egypt, this ends in genocide.  We need to rediscover our liberal political traditions and reject neo-Marxist interpretations of society and social change.
