Sounds like you are saying that when a more powerful group is in conflict with a less powerful group,

students can't really tell or aren't really interested in whether the more powerful group is actually oppressing

the less powerful group.  I wonder where you are getting that. 

Seems to me the history of protests shows the students generally get it right.

-civil rights, Vietnam, Apartheid, occupation of Palestine, etc.
