"Tunnel of Oppression" reinforces victimhood

For the past four years, all undergraduate students at the University of Washington have been required to go through immersion-style sensitivity training called the "Tunnel of Oppression." This experience, which features a separate room for every "oppressed" group in America, is meant to make the students feel the oppression they supposedly inflict on others simply by being a part of American culture.
The rooms of oppression feature spray-painted slogans and caricatures of people holding signs, which seek to convey the oppression imposed by Americans on...well, everybody else. The "homophobia" room, for example, has signs which scream "Thank God for AIDS!" and "Burn in hell, fag!" (Something I have personally never heard spoken in my life by anybody other that gay-rights activists, who say these things when they accuse me and others like me of secretly thinking it…or something; that part always confuses me.) The Mexican oppression room has a sign which says "Welcome to America, now learn English!" The bitter cold of that oppression is almost unbearable--the very idea that people would be encouraged to learn the common tongue of a land to which they emigrate is almost shocking.
The experience continues in this vein for several more rooms, including one for blacks, Native Americans (of which I am one, yet I feel remarkably free in this nation), and handicapped people (althought the “oppression” of the handicapped illustrated there is not a lack of facilities or any other fixable condition, but the fact that they are handicapped in the first place—which, somehow, must be the fault of mainstream Americans. I’m still trying to figure that one out, as well.) Interestingly absent from the catalog of oppressed groups, though, is that of mainstream American Christians who, through the unending onslaught of multiculturalism and glorified victimhood, are having their way of life attacked from all fronts by those who seek to change the face of America, usually for the worse, at any possible cost.
Yet the clamor from countless "minority" and "victim" groups is met with an equally striking silence from the right. We the majority, under constant fire from those who want to destroy our culture and delete our right to live as we see fit, just as they have the right to do, understand that there is no strength to be found in victimhood. We understand that claiming injury whenever we do not succeed in gaining exactly what we desire does not strengthen our position, but rather weakens us and what we stand for. Above all, we understand that our strength lies in our conviction, our adherence to our principles, and our unswerving dedication to fighting for what is right and achieving it through our hard work and refusal to ever, ever give up. As Seattle-based radio host Michael Medved is fond of saying, "I am NOT a victim...but I AM an activist."
