...you are not oppressed. Stop acting like a bunch of victims.

That is all.

People are prone to developing biased, distorted perceptions of those in unfamiliar social groups.

Relative to others living in the States, the fair-skinned European Americans, heterosexuals, men, Christians, and higher-income workers constitute dominant social groups that possess privileged measures of access to capital. But one really ought to bear in mind many, if not most people who fit into these categories do not feel acutely threatened by gains being made by their subordinate counterparts. I reckon the main issue here is right-wing authoritarians reacting predictably when out-groups present a "threat" to what they (the RWAs) consider to be their in-groups' interests, in addition to so-called "social dominators" having a strongly pro-hierarchical, anti-egalitarian attitude regarding how folks should interact with each other. However, I seriously doubt most well-off folk respond to the worse-off wanting more equity, acceptance, and opportunities by persecuting them and playing victim once they come to understand that most folks of the latter sort do not intend to rise up and then - seeking revenge - subjugate or otherwise wrong those in the former category.
