My take of these circumstances: we should not grant moral indemnity on the basis that those who are subjugated blithely accept it. A latent harm is still harmful... The deprivation of a persons dignity is not excused by their acceptance of it; just because they have been brainwashed a coerced throughout their lives to believe it to be good...
