Yes, absolutely they are. That being said, some people will adamantly refuse to believe it, and continue to deny it's a problem for all people, regardless of color.
so this is a pity party for Caucasians? Can you explain how whites who control the entire power structure in this country from private businesses to government are being discriminated against in huge numbers?
Caucasians hold basically every form of power that it's possible to have, so if we are being "discriminated against" we have only ourselves to blame... are minorities still discriminated against? I'm sure they probably are, Affirmative Action shifts the balance some and some find it unfair but if you honestly think that white people have the cards stacked against them/us compared to other races then you need to WAKE UP and think about the way you are thinking that which you are thinking, thinker!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Wow!............
Geeze................ it is just a question. I never claimed anything.
Even if it were so re discrimination against whites, I would hope whites would be much too proud to whine about it and instead resolve to rise above it (think about how the Irish, for example, were looked upon and treated in the 19th century).
Playing the victim card over and over creates a self induced tendency to remain a victim.
I think the biggest misconception is that because mostly whites run the country, then all whites have it easy. The reason whites run the country is because they are the ones who came over here and set the whole place up. So no frickin surprise they are running it a couple hundred years down the road. That doesn't mean its been easy for all whites. Plenty of them came over here poor and have struggled since. The poverty seen in rural areas is experienced heavily by white people as well. Let one of those poor whites with a thick and heavy country boy accent go to the city and try to get a job and see what happens. They get laughed at, ignored, and written off as some dumb redneck.
So no, this isn't a pity party, the OP asked what people thought, and why.
I believe that whites are becoming the target of job discrimmination more and more. Most employers want bi-lingual (spanish) speaking these days. Fluency at that. Gee, I wonder why?
