Of course they can, any race, gender, or sexual orientation can be discriminated against. Confused followers of intersectionality will try to argue that you can't be racist against whites because whites are in power. But, that's a dumb shit way of thinking and only encourages further racism. It's best to ignore those people and try to address bigotry and hatred wherever it may be.

Even if the power structure thing were true, it's still a racist question to ask because...which Whites are you referring to?  White people have come from several distinct regions of the planet, it's not like we all sprouted from the same exact location.  My memory may not be the best in the world, but I know the Irish, for example, were an extremely oppressed/marginalized people by both the English, and when they initially migrated to the US.

I mentioned that. Europe(where many whites are from) suffered many harsh events throughout history.

WTF does the poll even mean? Does a "yes" mean agreeing with you or is it agreeing with the "whites can't be discriminated against" thing?

I don't put much thought into the polls.

 

I accidentally clicked on the poll, and just threw something together.

Whites are targeted in other ways. Especially white men. We are all evil and are treated so. Either we are porn addicts, pay too much attention to sports and make our wives do everything or we are pedofiles or we are power hungry money grabbers or we are pussy whipped or anything else you can throw at us. Or we are just judged on our past atrocities.

Sucks being a white person!

I think porn addict stereotypes point more towards men(rather than whites).

 

I agree with you though. In terms of daily life, it sucks when people just like to laugh at white people while they can't be laughed at or criticized at all(political correctness).

Assuming much there buddy. I may be discriminated for other things? I just don't dwell on them.

Theres alot of victimisation that goes on. Discrimination is nowhere near what it used to be many decades ago. Aslong as you don't act like someone up to no good, no one is gonna assume you are. Aside from there is just victimisation and pleas for special treatment. Like the Hollywood actors have done pretty much. They don't want to be recognised by their own merit. They want to be recognised by their skin color. That is just ridiculous. They do themselves a disservice.

Well I was not saying you being a white person are top of the social pecking order, but I would say in general whites are on top currently. Sooner or later it will be Asians. Just how society will be. Also can I say I hate the term whites and blacks, not because of political correctness, but it is too fucken broad. 

 It is. For whites, it's extremely broad. Considering caucasian whites descended mainly from Europe, their backgrounds will always be different.


Some whites can be Irish and Italian. Some are polish and German. I know many are part Native American as well.

Lol I joke with my wife that I married her for her credit score and to get out of tickets. She says she married me because of good sex. Oddly enough, she gets more tickets than I do and I have a better credit score LOL.

Exactly the same, here! Lmao!

That's why I don't buy into stereotypes. I know they exist for a reason but I've been breaking them my whole life and many (not sure if I can say most) people I met are not even close to stereotypical.

The OP is a friend of mine on 3DS, WiiU, and Miitomo outside of this site. He knows half of what I say is just joking. Some people think I'm serious, though. 

This feels like a challenge- a challenge to become the most stereotypical person I can be.

PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

The problem is people are brainwashed for generations being told they not good enough compared to white people and that the world is against them.

I'll give you an example.

One of my black friends was all like fuck white people they won't even give nigga a job (even though the guy he competed against was alost black an the other guy got the job lol) kept saving the word nigga and then was like white people made us slaves blah blah.

I was like dude if you so offended by slavery why you keep saying nigga in the same sentence, oh i'm allowed to and you are not as it offends me. Then I went on to say clearly if the word offends you, then don't use it at all.
Then he was like but white people made us slaves they don't have the right to say it. Then I said well technically speaking you are from South Sudan, pretty sure no slaves come from there and it happened 200 years ago so you should move on and get over it. Then he got all heated up and says why should i get over it it happened. I was like it didn't happen directly to you or even your parents, yet my grandparents were impacted by WW2 and guess what I don't go around hating every German like they did. His answer to that was you should. My response to that was well think about it South Sudan is currently and has been on and off in civil war for over 20 years, shouldn't you be hating the people causing the shit currently in your country and not someone else's history. Yet his hate for white people was still greater.

In the end i basically ended it on well reason you should get over it as previously mentioned is because throughout history everyone took over everyone at some point in time. If we held grudges for the past generations then no one in the world would get along. Ten he wouldn't talk to me for week cause he hand no response lol

Reason VS feelings

 

Seriously, why should the whites from this generation apologize for slavery? They had nothing to do with it.

You can and I don't think this is a thing.

I think what you're referring to is the idea thar whites can't he victims of racism? The basis here is that racism is systematic racial discrimination and that's where the "ism" comes from. Generally speaking it's hard to Systematically discriminate against a majority population who are in power (in America) where white is the default and generally the preference. I think the closest thing would positive discrimination in employment, not sure how prevelant this is.

Anyway it's such a silly line of discussion and it applies very selective understanding of the word "ism" which also just means belief. I don't think you're likely to stumble across the argument in real life, most people take the term racism on face value, discrimination on basis of race.

While that may true on a national level, whites are not the majority of many sub-regions of the USA, nor do they control the local power structure in a lot of those regions.

Local and state Governments have a far greater impact on the daily lives of individuals than the Federal government does. Even when the Federal gov't makes laws, they often rely on the interepretation and enforcement of state and local gov'ts.

For example, only 1% of drug enforcement is done at Federal level, 99% is done at state and local. Many often cite the drug war as an example of systematic racism in the USA. Other examples, like biased enforcement of traffic laws, and cities with stop-and-frisk policies, are also local rules where whites are not necessarily the majority or in control of the power structure.

Indeed, it's also sad that people forget (or, perhaps, never knew) that:

a) there were white slaves, and

b) there were black slave-owners
