    Rucker, with all due respect, I call bullshit. Woman and minorities are given priority due to Affirmative Action in today's employment market in case you haven't noticed. Somehow, this video fails to call out what some board members have already stated; your screwed if you try to land a job, especially with a Federal contractor, sub, or otherwise, that has the beloved "AA" standard its trying to meet.

    And I will say this, be a white person (I don't care which sex) and walk down some parts of LA, Chicago, Detroit, DC, et al, and see exactly who feels "discriminated" against. Oh, I'm sorry, its whities fault you can't do that because those people haven't been spoon-fed enough welfare, food-stamps, and Medicaid to stop being criminals, pull their heads out of their asses, and be productive members of society...

    Privileged my ass, I work for what I have. Some "underprivileged" may want to try it.
    You didn't answer the yes or no question. I worked hard to get where I am, too. Still wouldn't trade places with any of those so called priviledged underclass, because I know that being a white male in the US puts me in the best position. Racism and reverse racism exist, as does sexism and reverse sexism. Telling us how you are or are not affected isn't data; it's an anecdote. As a class, white males have it better, on the whole, than any other race or gender group. Why are the women and minorities given preference? Because, in general, they can't compete on an equal footing. And why are you trying so hard to work for the .gov?
