Political Correctness, the mechanism by which 'whites' are pressured to avoid saying or doing anything that might offend one of the poor poor 'oppressed' people. This very mechanism which is meant to protect from racism has, in fact, led to allowed racism against 'whites'.
Laws protecting the rights of Hispanics, Africans, Arabs, <insert nationality/'race'> abound... but where are the laws protecting the rights of the 'white' people? They don't exist. 'whites' get no special treatment and are constantly subjected to racism but are condemned for ever saying or doing anything even closely resembling something racist.
college scholarships, there are tons of race-restricted scholarships around today for every race besides 'whites'. also, non-'whites' are given preference in nearly everything including general scholarships.
That is racism. Middle school children being sued for leaving a pork bone in sight of a Muslim, that is insanity. People coming to a country and expecting special treatment just because they are different, that is racism. If I went to a country in Africa or the Middle East, would I be given special treatment just because I wasn't part of the main culture? no. Why do you expect a great nation like Russia to treat people who aren't part of their culture specially? You are the one who thinks incorrectly here.
I'd place even the idiotic skin-heads over you in this. At least skin-heads are straight forward about their racism... the way some people practice their racism (for it is racism, expecting special treatment of specific races) is insidious. evil, even. convincing people it is their moral obligation to treat said race specially, is just wrong.
