It's very common for members of the dominant culture to be totally
unaware of repressive conditions for women and minorities.  I hear
"There's no discrimination here" and "I treat everyone as equals"
all the time in the computer biz, and the white males who say so
are being entirely truthful.  They are simply not sensitive to
cultural and interpersonal differences, and people who've been
spit on often enough learn to hide their pain.
