And in addition... What is "oppressed"?
Someone being mean with you and your mates? Calling you names? Or the extreme of physical persecution and/or genocide? Oppression can mean a lot of different things to different people. Someone from Harvard or Eton will define oppression different than someone like a Khoi Khoi or someone from Syria.

Hear me out! Lately, I have been hearing about white privilege and reverse racism. White people becoming the minority and this kind of ideas being floated around. This all feeds directly into the Trump/take the power/country back blah blah blah
It got me thinking, why exactly are there white people. After 14 seconds of thought I deduced that the white human must have spent a vast amount of time in a low sun environment away from the equator.
This leads me to believe that the white man became white through the harsh environmental conditions they faced for long periods of time, I may even speculate this is your Neanderthal that came back to Africa
So in conclusion, the white man has been the most oppressed in the history of the world thus why he's white
But in terms of each of us individually on a personal level, 95% of the time it's actualfly us oppressing ourselves with our beliefs and ideas that we accept into our minds.

It just doesn't happen. Not here in America. I would say it's never happened in the entire history of the USA and Further back to the entire history of Great Britain.
well lets be fair . Whits (irish) were oppressed in the states at one time. great britain made slaves out of poor whites to work on sugarcane plantations. It has happened but it is in no way happening in the US now. The white man has it better in the US right now than at anytime in their history. White people basically rule the world but I guess that's just not enough for some.
