Typically an average human being will only speak out when his/her rights are trampled upon (many will not even then).
To suggest that someone is not permitted to object to inequality perpetrated against him/her simply because he/she has not advocated on behalf of someone else in a situation that does not directly impact him/her is a foolish argument at best.

re your first sentence, that is the crux of the problem. We shoukd speak up for others. Re your last sentenfe, if someone has not advocated for others in a similar situation, that someone does lose the moral high ground. And does lose the right to protest.

This thread, to the best of my knowledge, is about discrimination against folks who are in the west. And who speak up for discrimination against others. If my understanding is incorrect, I see Readme’s point. Else, I disagree with his post.
