    Unfortunately, your question doesn’t indicate how you know truthfully that the people being granted opportunities over you were equally or less qualified than yourself. It’s a good idea to find out from a prospective employer where YOU were lacking in your resume or interview, however an employer would be crossing a dangerous line by revealing to a non-employee the lacking qualifications of a known, newly-hired employee. Therefore, I can only ‘assume’ that you are ‘assuming’ that those of a race other than your own who are granted opportunities over you are less qualified than you — and, as with most assumptions, it is often incorrect. Did you ever think that they could have possibly been more qualified and, thus, deserved the opportunities over the other candidates? It does happen, you know! Honestly, though, there are people who will misplace their anger on you because you are a white male and because of the past (and current) atrocities committed by other white males. I can imagine that some of what you are experiencing is actually happening. You do understand that you can’t control what others do, but you can control yourself. Therefore, it is difficult to keep it from happening to you, but it is easier to ensure that you don’t adopt the same practices against someone else.
