It seems to me that the main complaint of ‘reverse discrimination’ is that being White no longer affords one the cachet and unbounded privileges of yore. Whites cannot just bully and terrorize people of color wholesale as in the past. Whites do not have wholesale control over the bodies and movements of people of color like before. Whites must now see people of color as real job competition. They cannot just assume that a ‘minority’ person is there only to shine shoes or clean toilets a woman (White) wasn’t there just to be a secretary. Whites didn’t seem to complain much when all-White Affirmative Action was the name of the game in the U.S. So why is there such a problem now that Whites actual must compete with people of color. And please let’s not hear the ol’ rant of the automaticall-unqualified-read-intellectually-inferior-minority-worker as an excuse. While I do recognize that there are minorities who’ve been Peter Principled into their jobs I’ve met plenty of Whites like that too. And law of large numbers would indicate that there are SOME people of color who are actually smart enough and more than capable of doing ‘White men’s jobs.’ This same law would also indicate that there are Whites who are in the positions they’re in, not due to intelligence or experience or qualifications but due to the fact that their firm values their Whiteness more than anything.
