Is it not an advantage to be a white male in the USA compared to being female or of a minority race? Being born into the dominant "in-group" is quite a feat and you should be thankful that you managed it.Quote:

What exactly do you mean by if a white man doesn't have the things he wants or the success he thinks he deserves then it's his own damn fault?
To me you're saying the person is lazy or stupid but I'd love to hear what you really meant.
I would say that now it is a disadvantage to be a white male. We don't get any special scholarships or employment quotas.Quote:

In any other way I'm confident in my own ability to handle the situation.Quote:

Do you have something to refute my assessment?Quote:
