My last job in PC Corporate America had me (an auto mechanic) working for a black manager who had no idea what I was talking about 99% of the time. This, never the less, in no way deterred him from shooting me down because he felt that I, an ASE certified master mechanic and advanced provability specialist with many years of dealership experience and factory training, didn't know what he knew. A few months after I left, they closed down. I have to assume because they simply couldn't keep mechanics. That's AA in action.
Typical white male comment. I'm white, so I MUST be better than that black guy who got his job because of AA. LOL. Poor white guy was discriminated against how again?
38% of the population is white male. EEOC is selectively applied. promotion ladders greatly favor women and non white groups. a white male supervisor is 10 times more prone to get an EEOC complaint of any kind than any other supervisor.a false EEOC complaint will kill a career ladder dead. many college ed programs are not available to white males. but most important K12 discipline is selectively applied to white males. open racial hostility to this group is tolerated by K12 and even encouraged. this does not apply to the upper 2% of the population that suffers none of these deprivations and is held up by AA and feminists as the norm.

Yes, but nothing to really get excited about- the slightly more than occassional annoyance if you will.
Mostly, its an ongoing implication, if not accusation, that as a SWM with a rightward tilt I am somehow responsible for everything bad that has happened from 2000 BC to the present. Whatever...
As for discrimination, By 1978, I had lost count of how many times blacks insulted me for my race. Hypocrisy and double standards by a bunch of loudmouthed cowards. It made me cynical and was at times outright dangerous, but I cannot say it affected my destiny.
Affirmative Action has reared its ugly head in my department as they have promoted someone who simply does not have the tools needed for extended responsibilities. It affects me in that I have to pretend and support this fiction.
So the answer is yes although I am not going to claim to be a SWM version of James Meredith or Cesar Chavez. Everybody takes some crap now and then.
"It affects me in that I have to pretend and support this fiction."
I HATED the daily song and dance I had to go through to avoid confrontation with my AA manager because he was too stupid to understand what I was telling him.
I was speaking more to the fact that a lot of straight white guys feel like they are discriminated against regularly.
Obviously white males are a statistical minority. Numbers are numbers, but what makes white males unique is that they are the only minority group that may be legally discriminated against. Doing this is exactly as morally revolting as discriminating against gays, females, veterans, the handicapped or blacks, but, in the case of this one group, it is done with the blessing of the state.
The useful myth of white male privilege is the foundation of all anti-white male bigotry by blacks and females. However, one isn't born white and male, and, as a natural consequence, rich. One is born rich and happens to be white and male. So why punish poor white males for the privilege of wealthy white males? The country club set is unaffected by AA. The poorest white males are the ones who give up their seat for blacks and females of any social and economic standing including the most connected and wealthiest.

How is it done with the blessing of the state? There's nothing in the laws that single out straight white men to say that it's fine to discriminate against them. The anti-discrimination laws say "race", "gender", and in some states, "sexual orientation". They don't say "black", "white", "female", etc.

by the process of selective law enforcement. see those 30 guys standing in front of home depot speaking spanish this morning?
selective law enforcement. EEOC does the same in the work place. what it says in the penal code is not what happens in the courtroom.

"There's nothing in the laws that single out straight white men to say that it's fine to discriminate against them."
Yes, but their is nothing that says it is not fine to discriminate against them based on their gender and race. And who are you to argue that point? Don't you want special protections for gays? Haven't you argued that exact point in the past?
If I have an apple, orange and banana for sale, but then I lower the price of the orange and the banana, technically I didn't raise the price of the apple. So what? I still screwed the apple farmer.
