No.
The point I've reiterated several times that you willfully ignore. 

Discrimination happens.
It is bad - but it isn't going to magically stop.
It's evolves and shifts with change in populace, demographics and political climate.
And finally, most on-topic, the current complaints of middle class whites in America compared to the recent history of so many other groups are flatly comical. Like, laugh out loud ridiculous. 

Please for the love of Christmas don't make me say this again. LOL

BTW - for personal context - I - a middle class white guy - have personally missed out on job opportunities to persons of color that may have been marginally less qualified, and I still find this stuff hilarious.

I don't find it hilarious at all.   We have seen our government go from campaigning against discrimination, and outlawing discrimination in the 1960s, to endorsing discrimination and encouraging it, starting in the very next decade.  That is a horrible thing to do for race relations.  

No, it's not comical.  It's not comical to go from outlawing discrimination, from trying to teach everyone that discrimination is bad, to saying, unless it's discrimination against white males, then it's okay.  Government policies like that are a recruiting tool for right wing extremists.  To turn civil rights on its head, and say everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others?  Not funny at all.
