Everyone faces some sort of discrimination in their life, but the people I have heard talk about reverse discrimination in the US & UK always turn out to be racist.
The discrimination most whites face in the US is no BFD compared to blacks.
I actually think it is good if whites, even kids, get a dose of what it feels like...it isn't just humiliating, but often scary...because so many do not even know when they are being racists. I was with family in Mexico & my Repub brother said, for the first time in my life, I'm feeling discriminated against. Our party, only anglos present, was being served late at an upscale private club & various excuses were being made. Bro kept looking around & thinking of reasons why this could be, problem with the manager on duty, etc. I said, it's the wall. He actually said that DT and the wall have nothing to do with it. $!@?!
He believes that! He is like Repubs who make excuses for the perv tape, otherwise known as Hollywood Access, and say it was just locker talk, fake news, whatever.
A quiet argument followed between my brother & me, that no one else heard, as our family is divided in this political civil war. I admit that I am seriously angered by our Pres every day. Bro finally exploded at me & took his toys, and child, and went home, back to the house. His 9 year old daughter, my niece, tearfully, told me later that he raged about me for an hour, making up things, such a typical Repub thing to do. Being the Dem type, I would never say anything bad about her father to her, so I just hugged her.
I speak Spanish, so I had a friendly conversation with the manager about other things, just to let him know we were not AHs, and we started getting good service.
