As for oppressed minorities I literally mean any group which is having their human rights violated by another group who has the power of state violence and financial coercion or at least the power to regionally oppress like rebel militias, organized crime, etc.  Defining who is oppressed on a tech project like this will tend to fragment the community so I would prefer not to pursue the topic except acknowledging oppressed people exist and I hope they might use tools we develop to improve their situation.

So like the Uygurs, Mongols, and Tibetans in China?
Nowadays, some countries consider "oppressed minorities" those who can afford the latest, highest end iPhone every single year, wear fancy clothes, go to Starbucks with their MacBook Pro very often, but just happen to have a certain skin color and scream "I'M OPPRESSED!!", which is why I asked.
I'm glad you're not one of those people, and actually consider "oppressed minorities" the ones who actually are so.
