Certain segments of white people have been subjected to discrimination, until recently. For example the physically disabled were called "cripples", and the mentally challenged were called "######s". Even today, there are white minorities that are referred to in derogatory terms like "whitetrash", "trailertrash", etc.
Years ago my wife was subjected to discrimination in Quebec for speaking English. When she went to talk to a sales lady in a mall in St. Bruno, the lady turned her back on her. Also, when we parked at the Chatiau Laurier Hotel in Quebec City, we were the only car ticketed in a long line of parked cars. We haven't been back to Quebec since.
