Do the math on discrimination of white men and it doesn't equal 1%!
White men are on top because of their history of violence!
And due to their ability to blow up the whole planet, they will stay on top! You've got the planet hostage! You are the ultimate suicide bombers!

"Gross misrepresentation"?
"African/Hispanic-Americans" make up less than their proportion of the population in job X/make up more than their proportion of the population in crime Y - therefore, American society is racist/discriminatory towards them.
What part have I missed?

So which doctor would you prefer:
Doctor 1: A white male who is a doctor purely due to his skill, or
Doctor 2: A black female who is a doctor because the State declared that the health system was "too white/male", and therefore lowered standards to "diversify" the health force?
Do you honestly believe that China, Russia or India give a rat's hindquarters that "there aren't enough generals/doctors/mechanics of Ethnicity X"? Do you honestly believe that Saudi Arabia, Indonesia etc are going to follow the U.S. and blow millions of dollars on lowering standards, scholarships etc for "discriminated minorities"?
They don't
And for you idiots bashing white males because most of the richest Americans are white, get this through your skulls:
You weren't born into the Kennedy family, the Rockefeller family or the Rothschild family either? Suck it up, and deal with it.
There is not some secret government agency called the "Department of the Protection of White Male Privilege" - both my parents work low-skilled, and low-payed jobs, but hey I "must" be rich because I'm white!

Great post. So well said.
I'm absolutely sick of being told how I should act. There's reasons I don't want my pants hanging down to my knees. One reason is I'm intelligent enough to understand why there is a zipper on pants and where it should be located.
When did this thug mentality become "cool"? It became cool in the appeasement movement. We can't bring blacks up to white standards because that would be racist, so we should bring whites down to black standards.
We can't rebuild 'the hood' so it looks decent, and we can't prevent the crimes, so why don't we just make them cool and acceptable?
Besides, whites had a good run, so it's their turn to be oppressed, right?
Think that's a racist statement? Well you're an idiot. It's fact. No matter how many people don't want to face a harsh reality, it still exists and still is fact.
The fact is: Whites are more successful and whites are less likely commit violent crimes than blacks.
Does that mean all whites are successful? No. Does that mean no whites commit violent crimes? No. Does that mean the white race is great? Far from it.
But facts are facts. In a success standing, whites are above blacks. Hollywood and the politically correct movement of this country know this. They know you can take a black man out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out of a black man.
And you know what? That's fine. Stick to your culture. If I respect anything about the thugs of the black race, it is that they don't allow pop culture and "the man" to change them.
But you know what else? Stop trying to change me. Let me OPENLY stick to MY culture. Let me be proud that I live a comfortable life. Stop trying to convince me Detroit is a nice city. Stop trying to make me feel guilty that because I don't listen to hip hop and have car rims worth more than my car I'm in the KKK.
You be openly black, and I'll be openly white. I won't try to change you, and you won't try to change me. You commit crimes violently, I commit them financially.
The FACT is WE ARE DIFFERENT! We're not the same, we were never meant to be the same, we cannot be the same, and we shouldn't try to be the same. Most of all, others shouldn't try to engineer an illusion of similarity using the TV and pop culture.
I'm not proud to be white. I hate all races equally, including my own. But I'm not going to pretend I'm a part of another race and another culture to please myself and those around me. I'm going to stick to my natural traits and follow the natural course that they create.
This movement to make us all the same so long as we offend no race other than the white one has gone too far and is beyond ridiculous. The content of these commercials, TV shows, songs, and movies is not what pisses me off and offends me. What offends me is how others attempt to make me feel guilty for recognizing the color of my skin and accepting that that'll never change, and the corny, tiresome, pathetic lengths they go to do it.
I'm white. I'll always be white. No amount of brainwash is going to change that.
I am always going to do everything imaginable to gain as much knowledge as I possibly can. I am always going work to accomplish as much as I can to ensure success. I am always going to put up a concerted effort to make my life comfortable for myself and those I love. And I am always going to do what I want to do, stick to my beliefs, have fun the way I want to have fun, and live the way I want to live.
No matter what your social standing, no matter what your financial standing, no matter your race, no matter your religion, no matter your sex, no matter your sexual orientation, no matter your political beliefs, and no matter your nationality, these things, to stick to who YOU are and to be able to survive in this world, are absolutely necessary. That's the one and only thing we have in common, and that is all there needs to be. If we ever hope to accomplish anything as a race, we need to gain sight of that fact instead of wasting our time manipulating and stroking each other's egos.

It's the prevalence of racist attitudes such as those shown in this thread that has lead to many non-whites having to be twice as good as any white around to get employment. So don't whine about affirmative action. It's the racist idiots who have made it necessary.

It sounds too much like a bunch of mean/dumb/ugly losers, angry because no woman is desperate enough to lay them.

First you gotta prove that the white doctor got in purely through merit and not that his family is powerful (I.e. BUSH) or due to some other unmeritful reason!
