The EEOC protects certain "classes" of people, and White Males are NOT protected.

Oddly, almost EVERYONE ELSE IS protected as being of a certain "class".

Even if a Black boss said, I am firing you cause I hate your lily white skin, you have NO CASE, you as a White Male, are a second-class citizen.

You might be able to sue such a guy in a civil suit, but would get NOWHERE, regarding "discrimination".

Happened to me.* * *

Sounds too me like you were the weak link in the office and simply needed to be eliminated, you can turn it into a discrimination thing if you want.

The U.S. has also for more than 40 years had so-called affirmative action laws, i.e. laws that legally discriminate against so-called white people.

I live in a Metro that is 93% white.

Most of the people you see with jobs are Minorities.


The person that owns the Chipotle franchise in my metro just got in deep shit because 95% of his employees at all of his restaurants were illegal immigrants.

OH YEAH.

Several things:

Employers in America favor young employees. The older you are, the more difficult it'll be to get hired. Employers are afraid of the liability statistically older people have, especially healthcare premiums.

The federal government strongly encourages employers hire 'Minorities' and gives financial incentives such as tax breaks, etc., For many employers, especially large companies, this is their bottom line: it's cheaper to hire a 'Minority' because the government subsidizes minority hiring.

Many private and semi-private [publicly financed] organizations actively lobby companies to hire minorities, threaten lawsuits, boycotts, etc. if they don't reach 'Benchmarks', i.e. quotas. I'm not aware of any such lobbying for white people.

In a nutshell: if you're especially working class white, and a male, you're screwed.

Re: I didn't get the job because I am caucasian/white. Your thoughts.
Yup ,,

It's called

"reverse discrimination" dude.

I had this happen to me a long time ago.

The employer gets "credits" or funding for "training" if they hire "minorities".

So basically the govt. is paying for part of their salary or wages.

No company in their right mind could turn this offer down.

AND

As well, there are minority hiring "quotas" yhay must be followed as well. IE so many minority per whites. Same with women too.

Man if you are a black woman,, you can get pretty much whatever you want if you look in the right places for "assistance"

it's sad man,,, we (white males) are becoming the minority in business now.

peace
Each time a person stands for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he or she sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. And crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Few are willing to embrace the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change. [Robert F. Kennedy]

Why 'Punish' a poor or working class person of any race or ethnicity? Regardless of their race,ethnicity,religion, they aren't powerful and never oppressed anyone. Rich, politically connected people are responsible for any past discrimination. Where's their karma? Oh yeah, the black president bailed them out.
