In my case I thought that we already had equality so anybody asking for more or complaining wanted special privileges and therefore they were trying to ruin that because they wanted to be the oppressor. In my twisted mindset I thought I was on the side of equality.
though I do definitely think there are some people who follow the mindset in your comment.
We had to recite the New mexico pledge too
“I salute the flag of the state of New Mexico, the Zia symbol of perfect friendship among united cultures.”
