Victim Framing

Victim framing means using your status as a minority or member of an oppressed group to represent your opinion as the only valid opinion, and claiming you are the victim of differing opinions. While their opinions are very valid and need to be heard, representing them in this way essentially locks people out of the conversation who want to contribute because they feel they can't voice their differing opinions/concerns without offending the minority

As a person of colour, Margo used victim framing to dominate the conversation about the future of funding public housing and quell dissenting opinions
