Yeah, but would you swap all of the discrimination you receive with all of the discrimination that black people receive?
Sure, they're not making your life easier, but it's still at least a little bit tasteless and crass to compare the harassment you're receiving to, say, the half a dozen people who got shot and killed over the past two weeks for no other reason than being black.
The only people who say whites can't suffer from "reverse" racism are those who follow the SOCIOLOGICAL defintion, i. e power + discrimination = racism.
Racism applies to every race, and sexism applies to every sex/gender.
It's both the truth and a mentality. For it started as a truth, then people kept that mentality and it's still there. Nowadays there still is racism and division between the people and races, which is fed by that mentality that started as a truth (and still is truth to some extent)
Been there. I was the only white employee on a staff that was mostly black and Hispanic. Most of the minority customers I dealt with were cool, but some came in just brimming with resentment for me because of how I looked and what kind of person I must be, in their minds. They assumed I was out to screw them and give them a raw deal, which was ridiculous. (Our business screwed EVERYBODY.) Yes, discrimination against whites definitely exists.
This is like a big Duh. In every country, discrimination is more prominent against specific groups in comparison to others. But that doesn't mean only certain people get discriminated against. It's not some absolute thing.
Have you ever watched movies that all of the characters are black? its just like movies back in 50s or 60s that al characters were white, and i think its a sort of discrimination against whites.
Yeah, I really do empathize with your situation. It's more subtle in the opposite context, but it has the same results. I hope you find a better place to work, the people there seem like jerks.

Sure, if cops get an anonymous 911 call about an armed white and and an armed black, they jump in their car and shoot the white guy on sight , every time.
WJHEN I WENT TO GLORIOUS NIPPON IASKED EVERY HOT Asian GIRL TO BE MY WAIFU AND THEY ALL CALLED ME A "GAIJIN" AND A "WAITU PIGU" AND TOLD ME TO G HOME. WHY ARE WHITE PEOPLE SO HATED TO DAY
Yes discrimination of all types of people exist. You're not always the outsider lol. Just don't feed into the group and ignore it, they'll probably stop after awhile.
No woman, I am an Asian and I know more about discrimination. There's no discrimination against whites. Whites happen to always be kept at the top of social hierarchy worldwide

Yes, discrimination against whites DO exist but PLEASE, remember that you are the most privileged race in America and recognize it and accept it.
EXACTLY
This mentality is exactly what divides us. Stop that.
what Kira said.
@Kirah @Pacificblue62 it is the harsh truth, it isn't a mentality...
And I am not against whites for that either..

They wanted to do that with my cousin and harassed him for years. Even now when he's gotten his life together.

I'm sorry you have to go through this it's not okay. I would file a report on discrimination in the work place if I were you but that's just me.
Of course it can go both ways...
Since it's a professional setting - or it should be - I say get a lawyer and get a formal complaint to the HR...
Then make your life even more miserable if you would like to continue working there

I'm sorry that this happened to you. But hey, at least institutional powers are in our side? :P :P :P
Pluuuu-eeeeeeze!! It may in the most rarest of circumstances— but it’s not a ‘thing’ trust me.
Every race is discriminated but some are discriminated way more than others.
Every race faces racism. Doesn't matter if it it is in the media or not.
Honestly it doesn't matter what race you are. EVERYONE experiences it, not just a certain race.

All race suffers racism. Some more than others and white people are the less discriminated for sure.
