Professional victim can refer to a person: * who has a victim complex, i.e. seems to think that all hardships in their life stems from their being oppressed; or * whose public visibility and/or contribution to public discussion is based and dependent on their being (or playing) a victim. A complex-type professional victim might associate every obstacle with just one of their minority profiles, or varyingly with whatever intersectional minorities they represent. It can be a form of responsibility dodging, especially when it's employed as a psychological coping mechanism.
