people of other races are always referring to white people as "crackers" or "whitey". How is that not racist?
Affirmative Action = discrimination against white people

Racism, Discrimination? Give me a break! I know you are not crying racism. you cannot identify anyone without calling out their race! There is no such thing as a race being more racist because we are all racist. if color affects how you treat people then you have a problem.
People believe affirmative action is racist and that is very true, so was segregation and the fact that African Americans were restricted from going to the top schools (which were predominately white). White people werent complaing then, and now with AA you guys are quick to call it discrimination!
get off your imaginary high horse and wake up and smell the coffee. because at the end of the day its not race that is causing the division but the HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS!!!!

Racism against the caucasion-naturalized people of America is evident on a daily basis. Use your phone and get an automated message/use your atm card, and what are you asked? What language would you like to use!
You cant have an all white Miss America, but can have an all black miss America. Its racism to call someone black a nig88r, but more than acceptable amongst themselves. There are no National Associations for the advancement of white people. No whitey/cracker college funds. We are expected to pay ten fold for what I'll agree was not right over 100 yrs ago (slavery). Sorry, those days have gone, and you are owed nothing now. DEBT PAID IN FULL TIMES TEN. It's all an excuse for someone who is lazy and cant motivate themselves to live life like the rest of the common world. America needs to stop the overly ABUSED minority systems in place and balance on the over all population, not someone whos great great grandfather was mistreated!

As a white man I usualy experience it coming from other (d*ckweed) white men. Try not to take it to heart mate, some people are still brought by the Red neck style of parenting.
In England things have got much better over the years but there are still some racists left - they're the ones with the dim-witted dads !

Any time a white man looks for a job, he is up against racism.
Not a white man situation, but relevant enough.... Recently, I hired an assistant and had 3 applicants for the job - a black woman, a Native woman, and a white woman. If I would have rejected the black or Native woman, I would have had to write a letter to HR, explaining WHY I was eliminating them. If I had rejected the white woman, no further explanation needed. How is that not discriminatory?

I don't really. Of course, most of my day consists of dealing with mostly white people. That is not to say i've never experienced acts of racism but they are few and far between, for me it is not an everyday occurance. I have, however, been denied a job in favor of a black man and was basically told as much. It was no big deal really, he was as qualified as I was, so I went and got a different job.

I once visited a girlfriend in San Antonio, and her dad's apartment complex was owned by a Mexican lady and her husband. She staggered in one night, drunk as hell on Jim Beam, and just unloaded on me. Apparently, all white boys are rich, have jobs and drive Mercedes sports cars, at least in this crazy *****'s head. I'm a college student working stock position at a Petsmart to pay my rent, and I have to take city buses everywhere..

White males are outwardly discriminated against in today's society(Affirmative Action, minority only scholarships, etc).
However, one could argue that this "discrimination" is only to make amends for hundreds of years of white men discriminating against minorities and women.
But there's also the old saying, "two wrongs to make a right".
The issue truly is conundrum.

anglo..or northern european ancestered peoples who settled this country and immigrated here and assimilated into the core values of this country are being told theirs is not what america is all about anymore....instead..our country is being split into 2 different cultures...our anglo-protestant "hard work ethic and self reliance will get you ahead" and a latino "work a little and let the gov't take care of the rest" attitude....
we are killing ourselves with this "politically correct" cultural diversification is whats best for us policy...we must get back to "one nation, indivisible, with truth and justice for all".....
the idea and practice of different cultures all coming together into an "enclave" doesnt help people assimilate into america ..in fact, it expressly hinders it by allowing those peoples to work , live, and keep their old cultural habits...thus denying the original reason they came to this country in the first place...

I wouldn't know - I have no racial chips on my shoulder and do not go out of my way looking for racial slights.
Obsessing over skin color is such a waste of time I don't engage in it.
So, what's your point?
