I hated learning about the concept of Target and Agent groups (essentially where this topic leads), and me merely complaining about it gets me labeled that I don't want to be seen as being in the "Agent" group.
Essentially, the idea is that because I am a White Male, I am almost always in the Agent group because it is based on nations rather than local areas. I have had moments where I was basically being oppressed from other ethnic groups that are considered to be in the Target group. The concept as a whole is flawed because it assumes that with your privileges of things such as being White, Male, or Rich, that you are essentially forcing your "superiority" over the other groups.
