Aneirin -> Persecution and point of view ? (5/3/2011 8:22:42 AM)

On the subject of persecution of peoples for whatever reason and their descendants, hopefully free of persecution, how do they view unfair actions against others when they see it?
Do they, given their ancestry, or history see persecution as it is wherever it is to whoever is a minority or less powerful in any situation in the world, does their ancestry or history make that awareness more potent ?
The reason I ask this, is because of a personal observation on another website, those of an ethnic ancestry were quick to recognise the persecution of others in other parts of the world, whereas those who were from an ancestry where any persecution if any was long forgotten about did not see persecution and even argued in favour of the persecutors the others were against. The instance I observed was a group of posters who identified as Afro Americans, Japanese Americans and Native Americans versus, other Americans who described themselves as from a non persecuted ancestry, also white.
So of the people of mixed origin that post here, I ask, is it your perception that those who come from an ethnic ancestry see perhaps differently from the status quo when any suggestion of persecution of others is the topic ?
