People white people haven't been oppressed (and I think I meant oppressed by people using that language against them).

So I guess it's not a straight up question of whether or not they've been oppressed.

The moral of that point was that there's not a history of racial abuse to go from for white people, so terms aren't as charged as they are for minorities, be it black, hispanic, asian, purple, etc.
