There's also this weird mentality of, "If I was oppressed because of quality X, everyone else who has quality X was also oppressed because of it." When did it become OK to assume everyone would have the same experience just because they have some specific quality in common?

Meaning if you want to compete in the olympics, you need to justify it to yourself. This includes grouping others with you.
