47. I suppose it's possible in very specific situations...
Edited on Fri Jul-17-09 12:36 PM by LeftishBrit
e.g. stereotypes about men who want to work with children being paedophiles can make it harder for a male to be employed as a teacher of young children.

However, *overall* society discriminates very much in favour of white males!!!

If this is about the Supreme Court and Republicans accusing Sotomayor of racism - well, since I believe all but 4 Supreme Court justices in history have been white males, so it's ridiculous for the right-wingers to imply that there is unfairness to white males. I honestly think that a lot of them (right-wingers) just hate having a black president in charge.
