" U.S. Census Bureau projections that whites will become a minority by 2050 are fueling fears that whiteness no longer represents the norm. This fear has been compounded by the recent recession, which hit whites hard."
"Many white Americans have lived under the assumption that if they worked hard, they would be rewarded. Now more white Americans are sharing unemployment lines with "those people" -- black and brown, Wise says."
"We went from being a privileged group to all of a sudden becoming whites, the new victims,'' says Charles Gallagher, a sociologist at La Salle University in Pennsylvania who researches white racial attitudes and was baffled to find that whites see themselves as a minority.
"You have this perception out there that whites are no longer in control or the majority. Whites are the new minority group."
Are whites becoming the new minority? It's worth discussing. I think as we level the playing field, these minority job and college perks need to go away. It's a different world now, and these privileges and perks should vanish.
Even in kung fu, would a less qualified person of Chinese descent have more pull than a highly qualified white person?
And I swear, BJJ... you get this thread locked and I'll never forgive you.
