What are you talking about. Being a white male is easy mode.
I'm a white male. This shit is awesome. I won the genetic lottery.
Does anyone ever assume that I can't speak English - No
Does anyone ever assume that I might have body odor - No
Does anyone ever assume that I am not technical/intelligent before speaking to me - No
Am I ever physically/sexually harassed - No
If I move to any high tech friendly city anywhere in North America will I be in a minority and possibly have difficulty finding friends who understand my culture - No
Do I ever worry about little things like having to search for somewhere special to get my haircut - No (I've heard this is a problem for Black and possibly Asian people, I honestly have no idea)
Every door is open, no doors are closed.
It should be the same way for everybody, but right now it isn't and that is really unfortunate. Is it really too hard to recognize that others have it harder?

I bet you would change your views about the relevance of your skin color. Is not hard to also see it in statistics: Men are 68% vs Women; and between races White (non-hispanic) is the largest one: http://homeless.samhsa.gov/ResourceFiles/hrc_factsheet.pdf http://homeless.samhsa.gov/ResourceFiles/hrc_factsheet.pdf
