Have you considered the fact that whites discriminating against blacks is commonplace in the United States (as well as many other countries) while accounts of whites feeling discriminated against by people of color is much more rare?
- oh_sigh 10y agoWhich makes sense, because whites constitute 60+% whereas blacks constitute 13%. Even if everything in the world was exactly equal, including percent of racist whites and blacks, blacks(or really, the group with fewer members) would experience more racism because of the disparity in population numbers.
- ebfe 10y agoThe majority of white people believe that discrimination against whites is more common than discrimination against people of color, actually. Ask your average middle class white person about affirmative action, preferential access for minorities to grants/loans, etc.
- GFK_of_xmaspast 10y agoPlenty of dudes are convinced that society is "anti-male", you can get some examples in the "Ask a Female Engineer" thread currently going on.
- ebfe 10y agoRight. I have no idea whether it's a majority like it is with whites, but I would also disagree with a claim that very few men feel discriminated against.
