Not once did I ever cry about it, feel sorry for myself nor did I ever whine like a baby. But in my unbiased observation in what goes on between whites and blacks, I can honestly say that yes, whites really are being discriminated against now, more so than blacks.

Please lol I live in California and you guys find ways to discriminate against white and black people all the time. Ever walked into a place that requires someone to be bilingual in English and Spanish 99.9 percent of the employees are Hispanic Its their way around illegal hiring laws.And there are countless programs for people of Hispanics decent. Now how many programs are for just white people only? Anyone have anything? Yeah thats what I thought. Get real buddy

Before I say anything here I just want people to know I come from a very diverse Family filled with Whites, Blacks, Latinos and even one Lesbian. And I grew up in a very diverse neighborhood in Southern Cali. I didn't have a clue about any kind of racism until I was in high school. True Fact. But here is how I feel now.
I used to live in Southern California, but I moved out of state about 6 years ago. I missed my Family and moved back about a year ago and couldn't believe the difference. It is a fact that there are no jobs for whites, not even fast food jobs for teenagers during the summer. There are no programs and if you go to the emergency room, holy cow, it feels like you are in a doctors office in Mexico. And you are right, every job offer you look at, you have to be bilingual.
And as far as discrimination, oh yes, I felt it while I was there. I was walking into a store one day and a Latino man called me a white bi**h, for no reason. My daughters went to school there and were tormented by Latino girls calling them all kinds of names. Guess what the Principle of their school said, just ignore them and try to make them feel welcome!! They are here from another Country so try and understand!! What??? So my daughters were not protected and couldn't feel comfortable at school?
So yes, I can say I know what it feels like to be discriminated against for being white, and so do my daughters. Needless to say, we moved out of California again.
