To be honest, my impression is that the US is currently having a tremendous culture crisis while the rest of the world looks, sometimes in horror and sometimes in awe. I personally chuckle when I learn things such as that in the US, I would be considered part of an "oppressed collective" just based on my mother tongue.
I'm not sure things here haven't always been this chaotic, though. There has been some culture war issue or another going on for as long as I can remember. Oppression/marginalization is also a funny thing, because it doesn't happen to every member of a group equally, and it's hard to empathize with something outside our lived experiences.
