but I imagine the effect is less intense in areas that don't have a history of intentionally oppressing all non-whites in a way that leaves inherited, compounding damage that's getting worse over time the longer it goes unaddressed.

But do you think the American left cares? They will still claim an Central/Eastern/Southern European has privilege, while the English word of Slave was based on the enslavement of Slavish people (and Mediterraneans) by Western-Europeans and Muslim Ottomans.

Ilhan Ohmar is from Somalia, which was either part of the Ottoman Empire at some point, or at least an big ally, so it's the possibility that Europeans were used as slaved in Somalia at that point.
