I have been discriminated against for being white too many times to recount here, from scholarships, to college admissions, to Air Force Officer selection, to Marine occupational specialty selection, to federal hiring, to the way I get treated on a daily basis, especially by black people, just to name a few. I pray that I am not targeted randomly on the street or Metro for being white, as happens with regularity here.

OK that took 7 mins. Sorry I type so slow on my phone.
Dback's perception is flawed.

I received my first, "We are sorry to inform you that due to hiring quotas..." letter 35 years ago. In one case, the top eight applicants were passed over to reach the first minority applicant. Around 83% of the applicants were white.

That applicant subsequently failed their background investigation. That employer continued passing over white applicants, processing minority applicants, all failing background or drug testing, until they finally found a qualified minority around the 33rd ranking.

The wasted time and money processing applicants who would subsequently be excluded due to race or failure to pass a background is immeasurable.

Discrimination

OF

ANY

TYPE


is

amoral.

I'm just going to sit tight and wait for you assholes to immigrate away and then I'll stay here


BTW- ironically enough, many of the countries who send their "huddled masses" to America either will not let you immigrate there at all, or they will make it so onerous through bribes and bureaucratic bs that you'll just give up.

Yes, but I was just staying in topic re: would you immigrate

And there's some other countries that don't fall into 3rd world status where an American (without an engineering degree or a PhD or triple platinum album sales) would find it difficult if not impossible to immigrate to without marrying a national of those countries

The UK

Australia and New Zealand

Most of Scandinavia

Anywhere in Asia

That's the thing with Americans - we are conditioned to think that it's easy to immigrate and take on the nationality of other countries based on the fact that it is easy to do so in America - but it isn't easy to take on those other countries - the US is one of the easiest countries in the WORLD to immigrate to - right up there with Angola and Somalia.

I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of white guys for those jobs you mentioned have veteran preference points...Sans that you would have had a much better chance getting your foot in the fed leo door applying with the Border Patrol or Bureau of Prisons.

Let all of you rednecks go to Iceland. No colored people of any kind. You will be begging to come back to the states within a year. There is no place on Earth for the American White male. No one wants you. Not even Europe. In the next 20 years, the Arabs will have taken over that place.

To be truthful, Africa would not want me. I bossy as all hell and I get angry quick. I would try to rule the country within a year. As Americans, we belong in this country. I know several African Americans who attempted to move to Africa and they all moved back within 3 years. Africa is a shit hole. You will never catch me talk about moving back to Africa.
