Who in DC stands up for whites?
“But discrimination on the basis of skin color has been outlawed in this country for more than 60 years.”
Nonsense; decades ago they made it legal to discriminate against whites in terms of affirmative action for access to higher education, jobs, and promotions - and today that is REQUIRED (woe to any company or government entity that doesn’t have the right ratio of otherized people at all levels!).
White privilege is the privilege of being regarded as untrustworthy, prejudiced, and blind to the injustices ones skin color is said to inflict.”
White privilege is the sad mantra of non-whites who believe in their own genetic inferiority, who have given up attempting to compete. I’ve never heard Asians (real Asians, not Pacific Islanders) use the term, with good reason - they feel no inferiority.

It’s all the Bolshies have.
Before I retired from P&G we had a lot of those. They weren’t called “white privilege” seminars but were called “diversity training”. All they did was talk about how to treat minorities, gays, etc. One white lady was suspended for 3 days for saying she “wished she had Roger back as supervisor”. Roger was white. The current supervisor was black. One of the black women on the team accused her or racism and the black plant manager suspended the white lady that said NOTHING about race. Roger happened to be a good and very skilled supervisor while his black replacement was not. I had good supervisors of both races so I know it had nothing to do with her being a racist. She happened to be right. They didn’t fire her but it ended up on her personnel record. They finally moved the black supervisor, several times, because he couldn’t do the job but they wouldn’t let him go.
Americans are being indoctrinated by the cult of Cultural Marxism. Americans are in the process of jumping aboard the Cultural Marxist Train. The trains purpose is to run down anyone, without the due process of law, anyone who is perceived as the oppressor. This is the weaponization of Identity Politics. It is a seductive thinking for women and others, who have been conditioned to think they are powerless and oppressed, to be given the keys to new power. It is a seductive thing to be able to beat down your perceived enemy with a ideology that redistributes power based upon Identity. It is the Wizard of Oz handing down power to the Tin man, the Lion and the Scarecrow based upon fantasies as fictional as Unicorn farms.
I wish we would move toward rejecting the use of “racist”, which is entirely without an objective definition and which in modern usage is a synonym for “bad”.

Bottom line, its jealousy.
There are benefits to belonging to the majority in any society - majority race, majority faith, majority language, majority social groups.
Ask the ethnic Koreans and Turkish groups compared to the Han Chinese in China.
Ask the non-Spanish speaking Native Americans in Mexico.
The U.S. is almost unique for setting up a national identity independent of ethnicity. Learn the language, adopt the culture, and you’re in. Religion is secondary, race is irrelevant.
However, this makes the defense of said shared culture all the more important. You can dissolve the nation of France and you still have French-speaking, mostly ethnically French would could create a new nation or two based on shared values.
Multi-culturalism is the death of nations that are not racist because it undermines the only thing they have in common. Then we’d just devolve into Balkanized states, or worse, warring ethnic groups because everyone is so spread out barring the mostly Hispanic southwest.
The vast majority of human beings are people of color; the remaining few are albinos.
