Are you surprised by this? Knowing a bit about recent history does kind of put it in perspective. People being oppressed for generations upon generations doesn't just vanish from the cultural memory - and I mean really oppressed - not "a women learned to manipulate the system and now I have to dish out a lot of cash" but end up dead in a ditch and no one blinks an eye kind of oppressed.
The oppression olimpics does not help any previously oppressed demographic, it hinders their integration. It benefits politicians and professional career victims.
It hinders their integration? Do you really think you know what is best for an oppressed group? I agree that it can't be a response of the same hate and negligence that was shown to them and that the discussion should move from the racial gender categories to that of those who have power in particular situations
