“The oppressed, instead of striving for liberation, tend themselves to become oppressors...The oppressed want at any cost to resemble the oppressors.”

- Paulo Freire, 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed'

Happens all the time.

My favorite comeback to 'I don't see color' on this app:

'Well then you must be a terror at traffic lights.'
