Yes, you are correct to say that in some ways they have more rights.
As a white man in America, I have very little going for me when applying for a job despite my bachelor degree, 18 years of computer experience and 5 years leadership in a men's Bible study group.
I am unemployed on and off for 3 years now. Oh to be young, or different....

Yes. Like in college. They give minorities scholarships for doing jack while I have to get almost perfect on my ACT, SAT, and GPA just to be CONSIDERED for a scholarship. Do you know that they have a minorities PSAT merit competition with lighter standards then the regular one. Jobs, I could be qualified with master's degree and a Mexican could scam his degree. The mexican would get the job over me. A Mexican get paid by the government for doing NOTHING. I miss out a lot of opportunities that I deserve, all because I am not a minority. The government keeps pushing for diversity which keeps pushing me back from opportunities that I can use my brain on not my race. They hold job fair here only for blacks. I could of get a nice job there but I cant because I am white. Minorities do have more rights than the white population. One time this Mexican alien hit my friend car, he has no insurance but he cant speak English. Guess what, he is free and does not have to pay for car damages because he dont have a job while we have to keep paying loads of insurance. I am not racist thats how it is. People are just too scared of racism.

What the h.ell you mean change is coming?
We all have equal rights, Yes organizations may have their EEO quotas they have to fill to make it "look" like equal opportunity, but that doesnt mean that if you and I apply for the same job, that I am going to get it because im black.
Racial Discrimination is still everywhere. And people like you only make it hard to forget. I dont see us getting more rights, i just see us getting what was due a long time ago. You need to let go and make yourself more competitve in the world to get noticed. Its not a hold out your hand and I'll give it to you cuz your white world anymore.

Oh, yes, the poor oppressed WASP juggernaut, downtrodden under the jackboot of the ghetto-dwellers.
I'd like you to spend one day in the life of an underpriveliged black, Hispanic or Muslim person and see what you think then.
