That gave me the impression that you were aware of it, like perhaps it's surrounding you as it's surrounding all of the rest of us. I mean, you were the one who brought it up first, in regards to yourself, right?
Look, I don't know what is threatening about you, as we've never met.
However, I will hazard a guess that, whatever it is, it has absolutely nothing to do with the color of your own skin, the fact that you're a man and that you're straight. So, with that being the case, we can safely assess that your problem isn't race, gender or sexual preference based bias against you within our white supremacist, male dominated and heteronormal society.
You're a male, you're straight and you're white, so that means that within the hierarchy of patriarchy, straightness and white supremacy, you retain the status of standardized normality. You really can't claim that you've been discriminated against based on those factors alone. As I've said before in your case, it must be something else.
You've said that the world is not a nice place. On that point, I wholeheartedly agree. But consider for a moment how the world threats people when they're simply non-white, non-heterosexual, non-male or all three. It's going to treat these people badly on these factors alone and for reasons for, not of which, you will not be treated well.
So, there's no real comparison on the basis of your own whiteness, maleness and straightness. You've got something else going on there for you.
