my point is that the predators don't become an oppressed class overall until the events of the movie

part of the issue here is it's not a one-dimensional thing - Nick's life is shit bc he's a fox, not a predator

it's as big a deal for Nick to try to be a cop as it was for Judy bc he's stereotyped as a criminal

the stereotype in Judy's way was "big animals vs small ones" not "prey vs predators"
