A growing number of white people believe they are the victims of racial prejudice in Britain, official research has found.
Almost one in three - 29 per cent - said they now expected to be treated worse than other races by key public services.
And the number of whites claiming to have been refused a job or discriminated against at work for reasons of race has doubled in the last five years, according to the Government study.

I don't think discrimination applies to racism, because whoever posted this thread is outwardly racist to ask this question and pit two groups against one another...

Also, for the second statistic..."doubled"...doubled from what?
And the number of whites claiming to have been refused a job or discriminated against at work for reasons of race has doubled in the last five years, according to the Government study.
Seven per cent believed they had failed to win a promotion because of their race, up from three per cent in 2003.
Three per cent alleged they had been turned down for a job for the same reason, up from one per cent.

I have never been racially repressed, attacked by clowns in white hoods, nor have I been sold into slavery. This is one white man who thinks those other white men need to learn history and actually understand what discrimination against color really means.
lol Every race has been sold into slavery at some point.
Live in the south. Im sure you'll get a diffrent opinion. It's not all shiney and clean as you think.
Minorities get free tuition. Whites do not unless they meet other standards. Dont even get me started on just the college aspect of it. I saw it. I was there.

I ended up paying for my own education OUT OF POCKET, and she has loans totaling 70k. stop the silliness!
Those standards you talk about, were equal across the board. Her family made too much money(though they were a blue collar, 1 income home) for her to be applicable for any "minority" grants and some of those same grants only applied if she went to a historically black college, where her expertise wasn't even offered.
I lived it. I AM HERE.

"The Nature of the Threat" is a great song. Yet, you haven't provided anything to show and prove him wrong other than your emotions as well.
The Scorpion and the Frog is a fable about a scorpion asking a frog to carry him across a river. The frog is afraid of being stung during the trip, but the scorpion argues that if it stung the frog, the frog would sink and the scorpion would drown. The frog agrees and begins carrying the scorpion, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both. When asked why, the scorpion points out that this is its nature. The fable is used to illustrate the position that the behaviour of some creatures is irrepressible, no matter how they are treated and no matter what the consequences
