I don't think it is possible.

It's possible for anyone with a pulse to be discriminated against. It's just that white people aren't usually associated with the word discrimination.

not possible...Most definitely possible. 24/7, just like any other Race Creed or Color, every Day all over the world.... Man discriminates against his fellow Man. No one more than the other. Discrimination and Prejudice abounds world wide, and has no favorites, always has always will. Sorry situation.

Yes, it's possible.
I worked for a group of people from India. I had no problem with them because they work very hard and they earn the money they make.
However, they treated me pretty crappy at times. I think they viewed white people as lazy and unmotivated. I also agree that my work ethic was not as strong as theirs and left it at that. I just dealt with the situation by getting to know them better and proving myself to them. This should be the same for any race. Some other races have stereotypes of white people...but you know it's the other way around for white people and the stereotypes they hold on others.
I think it is possible if you are in an establishment that is owned mostly by people of a specific race. My job was a living hell the first few weeks I worked there, but they are from another culture and we had to get to know and undestand eachother. I don't want to think of it as discrimination, in all honesty, but maybe in some ways it is. Now I feel they were able to overlook our cultural differences and respect eachother for who we were as a person and how we did our jobs.

yes. Discriminated against just for ethnicity? In some instances, but primarily for others like religion, sexual orientation, and education... But in some ways you can see how Affirmative Action discriminates against white students and much of the job market when seeking diversity in the workplace also does so...

we are.if a white man goes up for the same job as a non white,he wont get the job.we have to walk on pins and needles around them or they scream racist.many more doors are opened now to people of color,as doors slowly close for the white man.when my daughter went for food stamps and medical,they turned her down,the lady told my daughter off record,that if she were black or hispanic she probably would have qualified.so yes,we are the minority of the future.

There is racism in every culture.For example some races think white girls have sex with anyone at any given time.

Yeah they can be careful if a waiter in a Mexican restaurant doesn't like you he might spit on your food. Oh and black people in the fast food restaurants do that all the time too!
