Current Events > Trump Supporters: straight white men are more discriminated than gays and women

(+) Yeah! (+)

http://www.towleroad.com/2018/10/white-men/

A new survey from YouGov and The Economist found that Trump voters believe men are more discriminated against in the U.S. than LGBTQ people, most ethnic minorities, and women.

NBC News reports: The survey asked 1,500 adults across the U.S. a series of questions on topics ranging from politics to baseball from Oct. 14 to Oct. 16. One question asked, How much discrimination do the following people face in America today? Respondents were then presented with a list of different demographic groups and could choose none at all, not much, a fair amount or a great deal. Forty-nine percent of Trump voters surveyed said men face either a great deal (18 percent) or a fair amount (31 percent) of discrimination in America today. By contrast, this same group found 41 percent of LGBTQ people, 30 percent of women, 38 percent of African-Americans and 42 percent of Mexican-Americans faced either a great deal or a fair amount of discrimination.

Trump supporters should be called the party of persecution complex.

It depends on the arena, the environment.

oh and its actually that garbage clickbait site that makes up stuff too

AND the alt posted in number 2

you really are on a roll today

I'm not surprised. After all a majority of them are fundamental Christians who believe they are the most persecuted group in America.

Gay guys still get pretty heavy subtle discrimination in male-dominated fields of work. You either put up with the heterosexual banter and play along or come out as gay and hope you don't get shunned for it, which probably will happen to some degree, since at that point you don't 'fit in' 100% with the group.

Heterosexual banter =/= discrimination

As a straight white man, I can confirm. The discrimination I have faced knows no bounds, from not winning mass millions last Tuesday to not winning mass millions last Friday.

I said subtle. It's automatically assumed you're straight if you're an all-guy group of workers. But go ahead and try to get me in a war of words to make yourself feel better.
---

they're crazy lol
---

It doesn't translate to subtle discrimination either.

It's a statistical probability.

This is why I scratch my head when people say "You have to reach out to Trump supporters and treat them with respect!"

How are you supposed to do that? There's nothing rational about anything they think lol
---

Trump supporters who are White, do you feel like you're oppressed? How and why?
---

They're wrong but it's not hard to see why they think the way they do and there is no shortage of examples they'll point to.

Try walking through a blue state with a Trump hat on and see how long it takes you to get harassed or even assaulted. I tried it in El Paso and not 10 minutes from getting out of my car, some hispanic girl knocks the hat off my head.

Guess I should have said blue "AREA" for the tryhards on CE. El Paso is filled with nothing but illegal immigrants FYI.

When you make an outward and public (controversial) political statement don't be shocked when people disagree with you and react accordingly lol

So discrimination and harassment and violence is only okay when someone is wearing a Trump hat? lol

I mean, political beliefs aren't a protected class.

When you take a stance on an issue people are passionate about, don't be shocked when they're passionate about it lol

Good to know I can go fight some liberals since I'm passionate about it. And if they get upset I'll just tell them "lol dont be shocked"

That'd be I think more severe than flicking a hat off your head lol

I think discrimination is exaggerated by every group in our society. Everyone is discriminated against in some way. It's not a competition. If you see discrimination of any kind, you should speak out against it.

"Victims, aren't we all?"

No.

Math is hard, so I'll assist. 18 plus 31 is 49.

49 is greater than all the numbers below 48, which include the sum of any perceived discrimination towards every minority.

Not in the south and mid west

Probably yeah on the west coast

Maybe on east coast and in media

If it is a trump hat, it is absolutely expected and appropriate.

If this poll was administered in the time it says it was (14th to 16th), then this is fresh off the Kavanaugh hearings and confirmation.

And if one asks a Trump supporter, there was literally no one more discriminated against than Brett Kavanaugh. I mean, one could think back further, but it's really hard.

white men have it harder than white women
