Most civil rights law is concerned with preventing and punishing disparate treatment based on race and other protected characteristics. It does not discriminate against whites unless you believe that whites are entitled to discriminate. So there's the answer to your question. Equality is not the same as discrimination in the opposite direction. Equality doesn't feel like oppression to me. Equality feels like equality. I can tell the difference between equal treatment and racial preferences, and so can large majorities of Americans of all races. You're the one who's deeply confused about the difference between equality and discrimination. Ending a bias in favor of white people doesn't mean discriminating against white people, and large majorities of all races know that. Large majorities prefer equal treatment to racial preferences.
