Whites under fire

Majority of Whites say they face discrimination

Actually, per the story, majorities of every group think their group faces discrimination.

Whites included.

Though it is perhaps not a distinction most people make, discrimination in favor of one group in competition against many others is not discrimination against any of those others.

It is well known there is and has long been a measure of official and officially sanctioned discrimination in favor of blacks, women, or other minorities in a number of contexts.

Think of the range of application of affirmative action, usually in favor of blacks, sometimes of other minorities or women, but never, that I know of, in favor of whites without regard to sex and never, that I know of, specifically against anybody.

As I recall, President Obama started, or aimed to start, some sort of government thing aimed specifically and only to assist young black males.

Too, I understand government lawyers bring suits in favor of blacks or other minorities - never whites - and sometimes allege that differential impact disadvantaging blacks is either presumptive evidence of unlawful discrimination against them or itself actually that, though differential impact disadvantaging whites is not.

I am not aware of any official or officially sanctioned discrimination specifically against whites but, as I wrote above, perhaps most people don't distinguish between favoring nonwhites and disfavoring whites.

But in any case these folks may not be thinking only or primarily about official discrimination, or officially sanctioned discrimination.

And, apparently, a lot of those polled think, surely correctly, that there is discrimination against whites and discrimination against blacks and others, too.

When you think about it, who can doubt it?

Interestingly, but also not surprisingly, the tacit or express arguments in the article intended to show there is no discrimination against whites are childish and absurd, as is every argument I have ever seen aimed at showing there is no anti-white racism among blacks or others, at any rate in America.
