The is just another BS whine that the white straight man is being discriminated against.
Although I understand why some white males feel that way
When corporate America was given the opportunity to move their factories to China, with the trade agreements that were originally started in the 1980’s, and was capped off when Bush gave them permanent most-favored-nation (MFN) status.
The flood gates were opened (they already had that status earlier,just not permanent) and 90% of companies outsourced at least some, if not all of their manufacturing to .Asia, mostly China
The plan was to have job training or some way to make up the loss of domestic jobs…but that plan failed miserably.
So now there are far fewer jobs that did not require a skill set or education that still paid a decent wage. So when the white male started to suffer, the blame was put on the immigrants and/or DEI programs as of late) taking their jobs…when in fact it was corporate America and horrible trade agreements that screwed them.
Some jobs have come back, and the huge investment the US in bringing jobs back with incentives for corporate America to manufacture more in the US will help. But it will take years for those actions to have an impact.

Oh we definitely are.
I don’t know how widespread it is nor how much harm it is doing, but if you don’t think it is at all true then you are delusional. I assume that is not the case, so rather than turn the disucssion to presidents form a half century ago, (80s derangement sundrome) let’s discuss this in actual reality.
- It is happening
- It may or may not be happening at a level that causes serious harm.
Below is a repost for your convenience

Discrimination against white people is no discrimination at all. There’s nothing diverse about white people. They’re all the same.

White people still hold a disproportionate share of the top, highly paid jobs in the US at S&P 100 companies. But the share of executive, managerial and professional roles held by people of color increased by about 2 percentage points compared with 2020 — more than double the average annual gains at big and mid-sized US companies in previous years.
Oh My, a 2% increase!
Selfishness leads to foolishness and violation of commandments. As for who said, you will have to have that discussion with the Lord.
Go ahead, keep rationalizing bigotry.

What? did you ignore the headline and 99% of the story?
That’s called cherry-picking right?
(Well at least you have outgrown your 80s derangement syndrome for the moment)
Keep assuming it’s bigotry.
Says the privileged white male.

I read the and all of its cool graphics, which provided more background of what I quoted.
Regarding the 1980’s, what is your theory as to why the shift in wealth to the very wealthy started in the 80’s, and has maintained that status for the last 40 years?
In 1980 there were 13 billionaires. Now there are over 800.
How did that happen?
What if I am an atheist?
The Lord also said quite a bit about taking care of your own.
While the ADOS population did what?
There we go!
…
It’s not clear what you mean by this, or what you mean by very wealthy. However, just making a guess as to,what you are talking about, there have been many changes. Jobs like coal mining and assembly worker are being replaced by jobs that require technical expertise. Didn’t our current President tell coal workers they should learn to program?
Unfortunately, fewer people are able to achieve those levels of skill and knowledge than can learn to put two parts of a car together…which a machine can do more cheaply.
I am sure there are more changes in our society than…Reagan did it.

Here is a summary. and a link to the report. They do not state a cause.
A full-time worker whose taxable income is at the median—with half the population making more and half making less—now pulls in about $50,000 a year. Yet had the fruits of the nation’s economic output been shared over the past 45 years as broadly as they were from the end of World War II until the early 1970s, that worker would instead be making $92,000 to $102,000. (The exact figures vary slightly depending on how inflation is calculated.)
It started with Carter…and then the next 7 administrations kept it going.
Switch.
