Whites can't be discriminated against?

Oh don't me give me that shit. I'm tired of the sob stories People get pulled over for breaking traffic laws, driving suspiciously, being in suspicious area or being suspicious themselves. It's natural. I've been pulled over for all those things and been given tickets over stupid shit. If a cop pulls you over for whatever reason and he finds something to give a ticket over or arrest you for, he's doing his damn job. 

I like how you stumble from point to point without ever stopping to address the counterpoints.  To wit: 

—Do you agree or disagree that Shockwave probably intended to mean that the average white person, if living as the average black person for three months, might be shocked at being treated worse (instead of merely differently) if having to interact with police, buying property, etc.? 

—If you agree that that is what he meant, I reckon you would disagree with Shockwave's claim.  Right?  In that case, how do you explain reports of, for example, minorities in a large city being disproportionately pulled over and having their car searched even though the searches were less likely to pay off than when whites' cars were searched?  (Note1:  I forget what city exactly but it might have been St. Louis.  If you can treat it as a thought exercise then you won't need a source; if you need to get into the nitty gritty of the city's situation then I can find a source for my story.  Note2:  I think the payoff disparity is probably because whites' cars were searched in that city only when cops had a stronger reason to suspect it would pay off.) 

—What did you actually mean by "It's not a contest that requires knuckleheads to compete." in the context of talking about systemic discrimination?  I literally did not, and do not, understand what idea this sentence is supposed to convey to me. 

That first bit I won't take seriously because you know damn well that I understood what he meant and that I disagree with what he said.

Statistically speaking, certain races are commiting more crimes of certain types than other groups in major cities hence why they're being targeted by law enforcement over others. If they were just being targeted without being charged or convicted then it would be plainly a case of being wrongfully discriminated against. Of course, someone's race doesn't make them a criminal but certain types of crimes are commited by certain groups more than others. That's a fact but that information is used to help catch the persons responsible for the crime or at least help narrow down where to look or who pay more attention to. For example, the majority of serial killers are white males between certain ages. It would make sense for police and investigators to focus their efforts around that group over others.  Frankly, I don't believe that all discrimination is bad, some discrimination is needed for certain things.  

It's not a contest to see what group gets wrongfully discriminated against the most. There's no point in diving into that. We're better off dealing with wrongful discrimination in general and not just on one group's bit of wrongful discrimination.
