Nope...but they're probably the most overlooked.

I'd say no, because that individual "appears" to be the majority. They may consistantly face discrimination of some kind, but it pales in comparison against that which faces a black, able-bodied, single heterosexual male, let alone any woman of any race. Although it may seem awkward and uncomfortable at times to be a white, able-bodied, single hetereosexual male... the life of this individual in the lens of discrimination is very much unlike and very much better off than just about anyone else.

No, but I would venture to say that in the United States they are without a doubt the most maligned. If you are going to verbally insult a group with minimal if any consequences, white heterosexual males would be your group.
I am a teacher(Hispanic) in a public high school that is probably 50% Hispanic, 30% Black, 15% White, and 5% "othher". Daily I see "white boys" catch unwarranted hell from Hispanic and Black kids. It is truly an ugly thing. I try hard to teach my students on the cyclical nature of racism and hate, but it is hard to undo what parents teach by example at home.
Wrong is wrong. We are all demeaned when any individual is singled out because of their race or ethnicity. It doesn't matter who is doing the singling out.

No. But being a white, able bodied, single heterosexual female is.

I think being male of arab descent with a beard and a muslim scarf is the most discriminated against followed by a black male dressed in 'gangsta, clothing. Their clothes and religion is used to judge them and their personality on a pre-assumption before they are allowed to speak

Yes, we are the devil. No other class of human being is responsible for their own actions because white heterosexual men did horrible things hundreds of years ago.

this is true. if we really want to eliminate discrimination, we shouldnt use race or sex as guidelines anymore. this means chunk affirmative action. get real, i shouldnt be punished for my great great great grandfathers faults no more than jack the rippers great great great grandson for his. yes there is still some discrimination from whites today. most of it though isnt because of hate for other races or sexes. its from being constantly blamed for a past we cannot change.

I think many people are being discriminated against because of race, gender, religion, as well as other personal choices.

I am all of the above, I do not feel discriminated against. I have it made, 99.9% have less advantages of me. I was born a WASP in the USA, what more could I ask for.
