Pew asked a nationally representative sample of white men with jobs in science, technology, math and engineering (or STEM) fields whether they thought their gender made it harder for them to succeed. Of the 14% who said yes, more than 1 in 10 said they had been affected by reverse discrimination.

“Many in South Africa will never figure it out!”
They all know what it’s doing to the whites there. The hard thing for people to figure out is what it’s doing to the country. It’s taken 40+ years, but Zimbabwe is just now figuring out that the whites they drove out (and often killed) were the only people able to successfully farm the land they were on.
