Yes whites are being disproportionately discriminated against. Any time that whites try to organize into a powerful activist group, they are seen as rascists. Minorities are encouraged to organize. If small group of whites or an individual speaks out against anybody or an organization that are in the minority, the whites are automatically labeled rascists! By the way I am THE ALL AMERICAN!!!!
Oh yes, I almost forgot. Our ex-chief of police told me once that when he was on the police force in a neighboring city that he was told by his chief to not "bust" the blacks when caught with drugs or for minor traffic infractions as they would not pay the fines and would just take up space in his jail. He also told him to get as many whites as possible because they did pay to stay out of jail. This is white on white discrimination! So there's a little something for you to chew on cantcu, boy! Oh by the way big man, my biological father died in Vietnam. He was executed after he was captured and refused to follow his captors orders. My father that adopted me served in Patton's 3rd in WW 2. I served six years USAR.

I think Caucasians have it quite hard. I am Korean.. but I have watched EEO etc. and have noticed that while a Caucasian person may be the best qualified, they are usually not hired, promoted etc. If someone Caucasian is promoted, then it is most often claimed that they knew someone OR that the company is unwilling to promote minorities; however why is it that when a person of color is promoted.. the phrases: "it's about time" & "now we're getting somewhere" are said???
I do not believe hiring practices were always fair; however I think we've gone WAY, WAY too far on the other end. In various positions more and more people are in positions that should NOT be there. I do not care who is in what position as long as they are the MOST qualified. If you are purple, have one arm and breathe out of your butt.. BUT can cure cancer.. then you get the job. If you are a 3'11" green hermaphrodite... and can design a cost-effective bridge that will not collapse.. then step up and get the job. I realize that I am coming up with outrageous types; however I think it is outrageous that we would consider gender or color of skin MORE IMPORTANT THAN skill. OR that we would consider it a feat that someone of color wins despite lack of ability.
NOW THERE ARE MANY AND I MEAN MANY PEOPLE OF COLOR AND GENDER THAT ARE VERY, VERY QUALIFIED FOR ALL SORTS OF POSITIONS, BUT BECAUSE OF EEO, WE NO LONGER ARE MEASURED BY SKILL.. ABILITY ALMOST ALL HIRING DECISIONS ARE MEASURED BY A FAIR SHAKE TO ALL.
There are some really stupid women out there.. there are really stupid men out there, there are some really stupid white people out there, there are some really stupid black people out there, there are some really stupid asians out there, there are some really stupid hispanics out there.. and then there are some really smart women, men, white, black, asian, histpanic etc. out there too.. but when it comes to the best qualified: Do the laws allow us to hire the most qualified?
I think each race, gender and age group run into issues now and then; however I think that as we try to progress, we do lose some things as well.
None of us are without burden.. I just wish that while some advancements have been made, that we would truly evolve and HIRE the most qualified every time. I do not care what your gender or color is .. just know what you're doing.
But, if I had to say .. who do I feel has it the hardest? I would still say that it's the Caucasian.
I wish you well!

Yes:
The 300 meter one legged sprint.
It has it harder than all the other races for a variety of reasons. This results mainly from a decision in the 1896 Olympic Commitee not to include the above race as an event. Nowadays its not even included in high school track events.
Because of this all the other races look down upon the 300 meter one legged sprint.

blacks do we are 20% of the population and 80% of the prison system because of old drug laws. mandatory minimums the laws say if u get caught with over 5 grams of crack u get 10 yrs in jail, but if u get caught with 5 grams of powder coke u get 1 yr. they laws r set up to in prison the poor which is usually the blacks. young boys n girls growing up in a bad neighborhood see selling drugs as a way out of there hood. so they start young nothing about school when u r making money now. why go to college get out making $20k- 35k when they r making that now. its a sad cycle that keeps continuing.

Yes whites have the hardest time now. There are no groups for white people. Well those that aren't classed as racist anyway. They have to fend for themselves.

Sure they do. Because of racism, gender bias, homophobes who think the only people who matter are WASPS and belong to the party of hate!
Why? Do you really have to ask?
Oh yes, poor whites All-American!!! That is the lower end of irrationality!
