Look, I’m not undermining your experiences and I’m sorry you had to go through bullying.
But there’s a line between oppression and prejudice.
Now prejudice, is making an assumption about someone or to cite a PDF “ PREJUDICE: A judgment or opinion that is formed on insufficient grounds before facts are known or in disregard of facts that contradict it. Prejudices are learned and can be unlearned.”
Now oppression is something that is systematic, something that downplays another group or race while benefiting the other. And to cite that PDF again “ OPPRESSION: The combination of prejudice and institutional power which creates a system that discriminates against some groups (often called “target groups”) and benefits other groups (often called “dominant groups”). Examples of these systems are racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, classism, ageism, and anti-Semitism. These systems enable dominant groups to exert control over target groups by limiting their rights, freedom, and access to basic resources such as health care, education, employment, and housing.”
Now look, I’m sorry you had to go through that but that is not oppression.
