Research and being an outsider

Hi everyone,

I'm finishing my final year in my undergraduate study in a social sciences program. I'm applying to graduate school next fall.

I really really want to study a topic related to a marginalized community in Canada but feel uncomfortable to do so because I am an "outsider". I feel torn because I do not want to do research that would only benefit me without giving something back to this community. I feel like an oppressor by wanting to study this topic yet this is something that I genuinely have interest for, I want to be an ally.

Any thoughts or anyone been in my shoes?
