This is something I see crop up in a few places, and it makes me wonder: 
  does this argument that the most-victimised party is inherently more 
valid thing have a proper name?  It's a very specific subset of appeal 
to pity, I think.  'X group hasn't been oppressed as much as Y group, 
/therefore/ their position is false (or at least irrelevant).'
