I don't know, white people face discrimination; I face discrimination here in the GTA from Chinese people. They won't even let you into certain restaurants here unless you're Asian.

But white people, as a whole, have never faced institutionalized discrimination on an industrial level like other races have, mostly due to white people. Names like honkey and cracker might elicit a more visceral response if white people had ever been basically imported and enslaved to build a railway across a country, for instance.
