Being a white male in the southern US, I can say that its not always true. When I was in my late teens, early 20’s, I was a victim of racism many times by blacks and hispanics. At one job, we had a store manager who was black, and was always a complete b*tch to me, so one day I asked one of the cashiers why it was that the manager disliked me so much, and she said it was because I was white and a male. Thats when I noticed the other white guys there, all 3 of us, were all treated the same way by her. As were the white females to a lesser extent. Maybe it was just the manager, but she was truly an unpleasant person to work with because of her racism/sexism. When I lived in southern California and Utah, I was discriminated against many times by hispanics, who, for some reason, called ME racist, untill one of my hispanic friends chewed them out in spanish. So, yeah, it DOES happen, quite frequently too. Luckily though I live in the south which is stereotypicaly ‘white supremesist’, since there are so many of all races here, most employers of any color wont stand for any kind of racism. I also tended to notice that in the south western US, where there was a large hispanic community, even predominately hispanic in some towns. For some reason, it tends to be less of a problem there. As to affirmative action, I think its a good idea, but racial quotas however is not. I would rather have a fireman of any color who passed all the tests with flying colors than one who was merely adequate and happened to be the right color at the right time.
