I think that white guilt isn't working anymore so now it's time to actively demonize whitey. No white person alive today has any connection to slavery and white people are beginning to realize how retarded it is to feel sorry for s**t that happened hundreds of years ago to people that neither whites or nonwhites knew.
The system has been set up to increasingly reward nonwhites over whites and nonwhites still moan and complain that they can't compete and that it's all rigged. University acceptance and job interviews are just two examples of mandatory diversity bullshit where they'll accept/hire mediocre performers just because of skin color, sexuality, or gender.
All you have to do is pay attention to mainstream media to see that the straight white male is the scapegoat for just about every social ill conceivable. Whites are becoming a minority in America and yet it surprises the talking heads that they're beginning to vote "like minorities."
Short answer: I don't think there's a lot of actual discrimination yet but there's certainly an uptick in racism towards white people.
The systems that "reward" people of color were set up because they weren't able to compete with whites, specifically white males, due to the majority of people in charge having a preference for white people. Hundreds of years ago is a vast exaggeration considering Jim Crow laws were just ending in the 1950s/60's. The first black woman to get into an all white elementary school in the southern US is still alive, come on. So yeah no, it hasn't been that long since there was legal discrimination. These laws that help nonwhites are fairly new.
If mediocre people of color are being given things, say jobs, they aren't qualified for maybe look to the people hiring not trying to find the best qualified but looking for anyone to fit their ethnic quota.
If you do actually witness straight white males being the scapegoat for social ills, it could be because nonwhites have not been able to say these things historically. Whites, especially white males, weren't able to be blamed without the blamers being lynched or tortured or outcasted or whatever. Like I said, all of this wasn't that long ago. It was less than a hundred years ago. People are still alive that experienced it.
Whites don't really have to think about these things or anything else a minority is experiencing. That's a key component in this whole white privilege thing people are prattling on about. They don't have to consider and worry about a lot of things that minorities do because of their skin color. Its really a recent thing that they're actually being made to hear other opinions. Like I've said before, this is all recent.
