Hahaha! not excactly oppressors.
Since time in memorial the appearance of white man in non-white regions in the world is a sign of divinity and he is actually considered a god or some superioir being.
I think it's a natural tendency of human beings to regard white-skinned peoples as more superior.
And so if one is to choose between whitey and none-white, whitey somehow has an advantage, especially if the one chosing is non-white himself.
And,if you're white and even if you don't have that 'supeior' attitude, you must be enjoying those priviledges of having white skin.
Still, there are people who can see beyond skin color.
