One of the issues with cultural oppression (like the Irish or homosexuals) and being compared to racial oppression is that people who are 'white' have an automatic pass card.
Oppressed groups (and yes, they are or have been oppressed) Irish and homsosexuals may have been beaten down and discriminated against, but they can pass. Maybe they don't want to. But they can. They can keep their mouth shut or not talk about their sexuality and they won't draw fire for it.
A black person or an Asian person or someone who isn't 'white' doesn't even get the choice to keep their mouth shut. Their very person is a walking, visual, ever-present, inescapable truth: that they are not white.
So, yes, other groups of people, many of them white, experience discrimination; but this discussion is not about them. To make it about them as many people do, some intentionally and some unintentionally(like you), derails the topic to All About Whites again.
