Some of those people's lives would have been worst if they had been benders though. The Fire Nation was rounding up benders left and right. There was at least two raids on the Southern Water Tribe to kill and/or capture waterbenders and there was that ep where we saw them throwing earthbenders in jail (it wouldn't surprise me at all if other Earth Kingdom villages they conquered also that their earthbenders thrown in jail for no reason). For some of those people, being a non-bender saved their lives.

And for others, being a non-bender was a detriment.

I'm just saying it seems a bit of an overstatement to declare that no non-bender has ever been screwed by the system, especially based on 70-year-old evidence. And though I hate to make the comparison and sound all social-justicey, it's a little like saying that because we have wealthy, successful black people and even the President of the US identifies as African-American, racism is over and no black people anywhere are being held back. Or a better example-- there are female entrepreneurs and CEOs and politicians, therefore there is no sexism or misogyny, anywhere, ever. (I say that's a better example because gender had more 'perks' than race, e.g. being able to avoid the draft, better chance of getting a lifeboat on the Titanic, stuff like that, comparable to non-benders not being jailed or executed.) Being born white and male (or a bender) doesn't mean you're guaranteed keys to a mansion and the corner office, but it does give you some advantages that others lack.
