It isnt in any way comparable, discrimination against white males mostly hurts their(our) feelings, discrimination against other demographics has them paid less, physically and sexually attacked more, put in jail or killed by police more (insert almost infinite list of results of being systematically discriminated against for not being a white male)
- parennoob 11y agoDisclaimer: Not a white male. > It isnt in any way comparable, discrimination against white males mostly hurts their(our) feelings, discrimination against other demographics has them paid less Suppose the highest paying job in my profession pays $65k/year. If you hire someone who is not a white male (me, for instance) for that job over a white male who is objectively better at it, how on earth is this not causing them to be paid less? They just lost the top job (worth $65k) on account of their race, and will have to accept lower paying jobs in the future. They are absolutely being discriminated against and paid less.
- lardo 11y agoOh, I guess that makes discrimination OK then.
- kelukelugames 11y agoI think you are wrong. Losing privilege is a terrible feeling.
- dudul 11y agoYou realize that some white guys are explicitly forbidden to apply to a job, they won't get a chance to get employment to make a living and feed their kids. I'm not saying that non-whites don't face the same issues, but how can you honestly say that it only hurts their "feelings"? You can be pro-discrimination in favor of minorities, but don't hide behind the "it only hurts their feelings" fallacy.
