"Who had it worse" syndrome. Crutch envy can apply to an individual who thinks they had it worse than others or a group of individuals that think they had it worse than others. Individuals who identify with a historically oppressed, disenfranchised, and/or victimized ethnic/national/religious/generational identity and compare it to another ethnic/national/religious/generational identity, with the intent of trumping the others victimization. An individual who feels the need to identify with a group that was victimized in history, then views the atrocities as a form of rivalry against other victimized groups. Morally obnoxious comparisons of evil (African American slavery versus the Jewish Holocaust).
