I'll take a stab at world peace or anti-rascism.

An ethnic, cultural or religious group should no longer feel singled out when, over a period of time, there are NO/few incidents, accounts, reports or signs of favoritism, bias, hate crimes, job or housing descrimination, unequal rights and biased legislation or practices. Until that time, the people in power (whomever they are), have the upper hand, don't they?

I was referring to Sudan. If that applies here in the US, it is a coincidence.

The US settlers of the 1500s were themselves in the minority position. That's why they risked so much in venturing over. 500 years later, I doubt many of them still feel oppressed. When did that collective feeling of oppression subside for them? The answer is either in the above paragraph and/or when they took the opportunity to oppress other groups to one extent or another (Native Americans, Chinese, Irish, blacks, etc.).

Here's something from Encarta:
"...men routinely raped Indian women, and when Native Americans retaliated, whites escalated the violence. California went from being one of the most populous regions of Native America to being one of the least populous, as violence, disease, and impoverishment reduced California’s Indian population from nearly 250,000 in 1700 to less than 5,000 by 1900."

When do Native Americans have to "get over it"?
