Why Do White People Feel Discriminated Against? I Asked Them.

7. I agree.

They are probably looking back at their parents/grandparents and seeing that it's not so good now. What changed? Black people have made advances, therefore it must be their fault. I live in an area that is almost totally white, was all white until very recently, and the people of color we do have are almost all Latinos. Yet I've had conversations with young unemployed people who say quite seriously that they can't get a job because the Black people "took" them all. What Black people...where are they? It is so demonstrably untrue that I can't believe they say it, yet they seem to believe it. And of course, they are not considering the fact that we once had manufacturing here as well as large farms that are now housing developments. The jobs vanished, but that is not what/who they blame. That translates into "I must be discriminated against" or else I would have that non-existing job that a non-existing Black person "took."
