Exactly. It makes no sense. The story is similar with regard to Irish cultural heritage.

Actually, it does make sense if you look at it through the right lens.

    "Oppressed" => affirmative
    "Hegemonic" => racist, bad
AFAICT, this is how the calculation works. And to be fair, it's not entirely without merit. It just seems to me the pendulum -- which was too far in the pro-European heritage direction before -- has now swung too far in the "European/White bad, everything else good" direction.
