I argue against the use of demographic identity to establish a narrative of victimhood and oppression, 
Imma stop you right there.  The narrative of victimhood and oppression is not based upon or established by a demographic identity..it's based upon and established by a well documented and centuries long history of victimhood and oppression.  
Goin' full bro now?

Tell me, exactly who is oppressing whom?

Which is exactly what you're supposed to take away from the normalizing propaganda of white supremacy.

I don't think this is sinking in.  Yes, they would love for you to argue for racism, explicitly.  They'll settle for you arguing -against- those who argue against racism..though.  Ultimately, the second is just as effective and far more attainable as a goal than the first.

Or..at least..it used to be - but you can never really count widespread overt racism down and out, it's like the energizer bunny, know what I mean, lol.
"The normalizing propaganda of white supremacy." I think we're about one more step from getting where you're really at-- calling everyone who disagrees with any part of your narrative a Nazi. But you see, that's actually the exact technique I just outlined-- guilt by association of ideas. By drawing lines in the sand, you remove the idea of degree, or the possibility of nuanced views on anything.
