I don't know, I think a prime example of this would be the topic of this thread. An example where white people are not allowed because of skin color is in "BGLO's". I have read many times on this board of people saying something along the lines of, "I would never vote to let a white girl/guy in my frat/sor!" That, to me sounds exactly like what you are saying doesn't exist. And, even though it may be the tired "I was denied admission/a job at XYX University/Corporation because some inferior ***** got my job" line, in many cases it is true. If an employer has two candidates for a job, one white, one not (whatever color, doesn't make a difference) and the white person IS the more qualified candidate, but the employer has quotas or whatever, the non-white will get the job, and that isn't fair to the more qualified person. I'm not saying that whites are always more qualified. I know some very worthless white people that don't deserve the jobs they have, even if it is working fast food, or if it's as a corporate VP somewhere. I know I'm not colorblind, but I try, and I like to think I don't do too bad, considering the town I grew up in had no more than half a dozen non-whites, until the mexican and chinese restaurants moved into town. Enough of my ramblings. In closing, I hope you get my point. I know there are more injustices against non-whites, but that doesn't mean there are no injustices toward whites.
