1. One doesn't get an "actual understanding" by denying facts and parts of the historical record one doesn't like, and forbidding comparisons that undermine ideological narratives by claiming "mitigate" or "apologize" for another bad actor.  I.e. actual understanding is not compatible with censorship of information and pluralism of perspectives.

2. You still haven't provided any examples of college students "automatically" protesting on behalf of a less powerful group that isn't actually oppressed. So far that's just a baseless claim.

Nor have you provided a single example of an oppressor who is a good guy, at least by liberal democratic standards founded on the equality of human rights.
