There are UnfortunateImplications for both sides of this issue. On the one hand, members of the group don't need outsiders speaking over them when they're perfectly capable of stating their own views. On the other hand, just because one sample of the group feel a certain way, that doesn't mean they speak as a consensus of the entire group.

group.

The implications get even worse if the outsider in question is from a majority group attempting to speak out for an oppressed/disadvantaged minority, but in the process of doing so they ignore or disregard the opinions of the minority group they’re trying to help.

** Her actions at least shift throughout the series. In book five, she naively tries to free the House Elves in Hogwarts (which causes a number of them to purposely avoid her), but in book seven she seems to be focusing more on making sure House Elves are well-treated, and educating people about them--a far more productive course of action.

** In another episode, the kids in South Park have taken to using the word "fag" as a such a generic insult that they don't realize it's associated with homosexuality. People become up in arms about it and try to stop it. [[AuthorTract The homosexual community in South Park actually see it as a good thing that they've been dissociated from the insult and try to encourage it]]. This is very much ''not'' TruthInTelevision. The controversy over generalizing an insult currently rooted in homophobia makes it actually a bigger pet peeve for many members of the LGBT community than using it on them directly. [[{{Hypocrite}} So it's actually the creators themselves who are engaging in this behavior]].
