Look, the notion of "a scientific assessment of instances where the victims of a systemic oppressed acquired responsibility for remaining oppressed" is crazy. Wake up. There is no objective way to "assess" the extent to which "victims of systemic oppression" can be deemed "responsible" for their oppression, let alone a "scientific" way to do it. The act of suggesting such a thing is possible is an apology for oppression, no more. Suggesting that you can be scientific about it is essentially Murray's game, but it is not science.
