Agreed. If we address poverty it will remove most racism. Most racism is classism in disguise. Heck, most people confuse the two when they are being discussed.

Asian Americans have a higher per capita income than whites. Does that mean Asians are no longer discriminated against?

  Probably all the more reasons to get discriminated. Racisms comes as different forms some are due to insecurity and some are due to false beliefs.

  Is this under the assumption that whites aren't discriminated against? Because ooooooweeee is that a invalid assumption. Especially in this day and age. I feel as if I'm not allowed to talk anymore because my white male view is suppressing the minorities. And I'm not joking or being snarky, I've been made to feel this way through several racist (towards white people GASP!) remarks.

    'Remarks' is not the same as 'discrimination', just saying.

    I feel as if I'm not allowed to talk anymore I understand that. But have you considered the possibility that people in other categories have felt that way the whole time, and have only recently reached a level of confidence and/or frustration that they're willing to be openly dismissive of your viewpoint? Put another way, this not-so-great but relatively new reality for you has been the norm for many other groups of people and they're sick of it and have stopped playing along with it. That's not your fault, and indeed it is frustrating to be treated as a category member instead of an individual, but the discrimination those people previously experienced wasn't their fault either.

  The key word to note in the comment above is MOST. Finding a counter example doesn't invalidate the point

  It means Asian Americans aren't being discriminated against in social and professional circles with comparable income levels.
