On another thread, I was surprised to learn that a lot of straight, white guys feel that they feel like a minority or that society is biased against them.

Do straight, white males really face discrimination? If so, how? Please give examples.

I'm hoping for sincere and intelligent answers. Thanks.

Actually, the most interesting thing so far is that none of them have said a word here.

You're right, you posted this 20 mins. ago. Maybe they're googling for answers?

I was told by the state of NC when I applied for a state job that first considerations went to veterans and minorities. I would say that you don't see it as much in the private sector, but go to the DMV or post office and see how many white males you see working there. they are good paying jobs with great benefits too.

But isn't that more a case of people wanting to work around others who are like them?

That's not being discriminated against. Those are forms of affirmative action.
