It is generally considered permissible, indeed necessary, to discriminate against them in order to give preference to protected minorities. The constitutional principle of equal protection under the law has, quite simply, been ignored by the liberal Idaho state legislature. It doesn't seem to bother anyone that White males are now second-class citizens under the law. Fordham University Professor Mark Naison recently dismissed White males' loss of their civil rights as a mere inconvenience. The new Republican Congress regards Medicare and welfare reform as more important than equality before the law and has taken no steps at all to undo the institutionalized reverse discrimination that is the backbone of U.S. civil rights policy.
White males are for all practical purposes helpless to resist.
No lawyer will file reverse-discrimination suits on contingency, i.e. wait to collect his fee when the case is won and damages collected. One White man of my acquaintance some time ago became tired of his negress supervisor subjecting him to tirades of abuse and profanity and racial epithets, and on one occasion physically and painfully assaulting him with staple gun. The company would do nothing and my friend tried to file a Federal complaint. I was told, quite simply, that the law didn't apply to me. The written version from my interviewer, a black female, was suitably weasel-worded, of course, but that was the gist of it.
