Diversity Minute 9: Oppression Olympics

12:00 PM | Monday, November 8, 2021

Avoiding the Oppression Olympics

The Oppression Olympics defined 

The Oppression Olympics describe a competition between groups that argue over who faces the worse type of injustice, and yet the winner of this competition gets nothing.

Put it this way…have you ever been in a room where someone talks about their medical condition, then someone else shares their issue, and before you know it, folks are competing over who has it worse?

How to avoid the Oppression Olympics

Rather than argue about whether sexism, ageism, or racism is worse, we need to acknowledge that they are all forms of injustice, and re-focus our efforts on fixing the system that sustains them.

Let’s focus our efforts on fixing the system that sustains sexism, ageism, racism, and all the other -isms!

The next time you find yourself in the middle of the Oppression Olympics, remind folks that every form of discrimination is bad, and that none of us win until we all win. Let’s focus on winning!
