Historically those groups have had it worst and deal with more cultural baggage. Is it ever okay for all parties to give their attention to the needs of the groups treated the worst historically without being sure to give equal time to the manner in which the oppressor is himself oppressed?
I don't know that the time needs to be equal, but I think it's fair to mention, if only in passing. Much depends on context as to whether that is simply acknowledging a basic fact, or a tu quoque justification.
