They said in 1960, ninety (90) percent of Americans were White. If you were a minority there would be terrible discrimination. Well almost 50 years later the ethnic minority is a king in many communities and the White Man has very little can be discriminated against. Isn't life strange!

In what Cities are white people now discriminated against and considered second class citizens?

^ ah sorry but most Cubans are white (such as myself). Is this a pity party question for the Anglos/WASPs? There is no minority "agenda" to discriminate against whites.

Default What?

50 years ago the US could not have been 90% white, with the number of Latinos, Asians and blacks. I beleive that black folks then were 12% of the populatiion. What we have seen in the last 50 years is a great rise in ethnic identity. Minorities are not 'king' -- to a reasonable extent this society tries to treat everyone the same.

In places where white folks are not in the majority, there have not been great complaints. Remember, there is a difference between being in the minority and being part of an oppressed minority. Many conservatives and white folks don't input that fact.

I have not heard much from folks protesting discrimination against whites in DC or in Gary, IN. White people do not form a majority in Hawaii and the state manages to toddle along somehow.

Amen.

Ridiculous thread. All it will do is lead to more ignorance.

Why can we not discuss the subject instead? Funny it is considered ridiculous when someone ask where whites are discriminated. I have noticed in thread after thread it is perfectly fine to discuss any other race. If C-D is a reflection of society as a whole, then whites are discriminated.

Questioner2, if you add culture and language, I would also think of English-speaking being discriminated. Spanish is taking over in some parts of USA.

I agree

The US census actually classifies Mexicans, Cubans, etc as 'white'

Discrimination on whites is not unheard of, but by far much harder to find then discriminations on Blacks, Latinos, and Asians.

Only places I could imagine a white person having problems living in are areas like:

- Miami/Dade County yes white people do live there, but not English speaking white people
- Hawaii, they always like to hate on us "howlees"
- Southwest border town, once again very little English spoken
- Inner city slum type neighborhoods, you can live there but you'll likely be mugged/robbed.

It's never occurred to this white man to take on a victim's mentality.

In the distant past, I did endure some hard times in an environment where I was the minority (including one of the worst unwarranted beatings I've ever had - because I was white).

I just fought back each time it was neccessary, outworked and outperformed my antagonists (that was the easy part) and made the neccessary changes needed to achieve success without looking for someone or something to bail me out.
