It's weird... cuz, even if there is a bias against white men, its still white men that rule the most of the world and have all the money, and run the major corporations. But white men feel like they're getting replaced?

On the other hand, America has always been a mix, but always had a strong foundation of white men, and it does feel like that base might be changing. Something is changing

Edit: it's flabbergasting that a reply like this gets down votes

People are becoming educated about the myth of racism and the privilege bestowed on pale skins by racism.

I don't know how much privilege we can say was/is bestowed on white people. I think in history, white people weren't having much bestowed on them, rather, they were usually the bestowers.

That sounds harsher than I wanted it to.
