There's a big problem with stories that present oppression as the result of two groups who just can't get along. It suggests that the oppressed are equally culpable in their subjugation and hating injustice is the same as the injustice itself. In reality, oppression is the result of one group having disproportionate power and using that against another group who (rightfully) try to fight back. Trying to stay neutral or "both sidesing" such conflicts only serves to tacitly aid the oppressors.
