The term 'Oppression Olympics' refers to a characterization of marginalization as a competition to determine the relative weight of the systemic oppression faced by different groups. While the phrase was coined by Elizabeth 'Betita' Martínez in 1993 to encourage solidarity, it has since evolved into a popular internet meme used to mock instances where individuals or groups seem to compete for the title of 'most oppressed.' The meme typically features a podium or a competitive race, highlighting the absurdity of one-upping someone else's trauma or social disadvantage. It is frequently used in political discourse and social media debates to critique identity politics and the perceived race to the bottom of victimhood.
