That's EXACTLY what I'm trying to say! I'm glad someone can see that!
I understood what you're saying. It is paradoxical. I was trying to give an explanation for why it happens - I certainly wasn't defending it! I was victimised a lot as a child on the grounds of my nationality and it made me very much sympathise with other people who were the victims of prejudice, but a lot of people don't seem to have that ability to universalise their own experience.
