A persecuted ethnic or religious minority cannot overcome discrimination and prejudice by assimilating within the oppressing
society, then participating in discrimination against a new target. This only serves to validate the idea of
discrimination; and merely postpones the day when one will once again become
the target.
The only thing this changes is that, when the
cold stares and furtive innuendo are once again directed at these people, they will
no longer have any moral high ground from which to appeal.
