ALthough it is tempting to try to find a short buzzword to describe everything, I think the best you can do in this case without sacrificing accuracy is say something like "unconsciously supporting oppression". I find unconscious assumptions within myself all the time. It aggravates me no end - all you can do is fight it. I would also note it is certainly not impossible for someone to play an active part in supporting oppression of a certain group EVEN IF THEY THEMSELVES ARE MEMBERS OF THAT GROUP. There are benefits to this for the, er - brown nosing traitor - usually that of being treated as an exception to the usual standard of behavior. For instance, women who deny that they should have equal rights are treated very warmly by men who wish to maintain the status quo (classic example - Phyllis Schlafly.)
