The danger there is misinterpreting a "look". It could be nothing more than revulsion of/at your haircut.

And then there was this incident in Wichita. Here's a few more. And it's the case that whites have been persecuted in the US, typically by other whites, as it happens. I believe someone else has pointed out what happened to successive waves of immigrants ... first the Irish, then Italians, then Poles ...

I am aware of these things, but I am also aware of James Byrd, the KKK, segregation, the fight for civil rights, and many, many other things that trump those that you mention. Are you honestly saying that white people suffer from persecution in the US?

You are saying that. I was refuting your statement that it never happens.

Nope. That various ethnic groups did suffer from it in the past, strove to rise above it, and did so successfully. Like Bill Cosby was saying, if you value education and success over victimhood, then all of a sudden you wake up one day and you're not a victim anymore. |

james byrd - that's a recent event and fair play kkk - other races have their stupid supremacy groups, too - and nobody respects them segregation, the fight for civil rights - more than 30 years ago. why is it that when someone points out that racism goes in all directions, the knee jerk reaction is to point out what white people have done in the past. the james byrd tragedy is no more indicative of the average caucasion than the central park jogger assault is of the black or hispanic community. but what you didn't see is a crowd of white people standing outside the courthouse campaigning that prosecuting Byrd's murderers was a racist witchhunt.

Fact of life; advancement in most companies depends on networking and who you know, more than ability. This means everyone that's not "a friend", "golfing buddy", "poker pal", "fellow lodge member" of the boss or know someone who is, is screwed. That includes whites as well as anyone else. People being people, that will likely be the case for some time.
I remember back in the 70s, Westinghouse hired a black man to run the employment office, to make sure black people weren't discriminated against. After he had hired over 100 blacks, and nothing else, they fired him. ![]()
