Now you're just trying to predict the future. If 100 years from now there is legitimate opppession of white straight males that is comparable to the bigotry 50s or prior eras that is a tragedy that should be stopped but in the present all you're doing is actively hoping that attempts to better include underrepresented groups fail for the sake of securing the position of a group that currently dominates the vast majority of art and media. 

Yeah, but we are already experiencing that oppression. I've described this a dozen times now. Can a white straight male say or conduct themselves the same way a minority can in media? Can a white straight male say they want to cast white straight males in their movies, then celebrate it openly when they do it, and see the same response as when a minority does it? No. It's oppression, plain and simple. Certain people need to watch their words and conduct a lot more closely than others, lest they be branded and discarded from polite society.

That's not oppression. There are legitimate forms of oppression all across the planet and people not wanting to talk to you after you say something about wanting to celebrate white people is at the very bottom of the totem pole. If you want to blame something blame the legitimate forms of oppression that has lead to a culture where it's not ok for certain groups to say certain things because historically those words and actions were used to actually oppress people
