Why white professional males are on the verge of extinction

Ironically, the various affirmative action laws here in the U.S. effectively serve as a great tool for employers who are trying to assess prospective hires. If you go out and hire only white male graduates from a state university system, you can't go wrong. These people are the only racial/ethnic group that is regularly discriminated against as a matter of standard public policy, so the ones that make it this far are usually the cream of the crop.

We have not yet discovered how to get by without doctors, lawyers and bankers...

Perhaps, but I wonder what the doctors, lawyers and bankers would do without farmers, ranchers and plumbers.

"the cunning and ambition of the white middle-class male" will outwit all attempts to get him to make way for women

Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was taught not to spit in the fan
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was broken by trained personell
Who was given a seat in the stand
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone.

dunno...brit article needed a little Floyd.

LOL, thanks for that.

The extinction of the old-style white professional male is already far advanced and within a generation it will be complete.

It's been going on for years in the Blue Collar community. Nobody said a word, except for "you're lazy, unskilled, unqualified, dumb." About time the White collars woke up and realized the truth.

It would be best if you twist the cap back on the bottle and go to bed.

The irony is that it will not only be white males who will die out, but whites (male and female) in general - while the white females pursue careers instead of having children up to the replacement rate.

The lunatic is in the grass. The lunatic is in the grass. Blah blah blah... See you on the dark side of the moon!

Can't stand the Pink Floyd version or Pink Floyd, but the Austin Lounge Lizards bluegrass version is brilliant.

Nephew works at a major installation of the federal Dept of Transportation, run by 'rat Norm Minetta. Nephew's white male friend has worked at the same installation for twenty years and intended to apply for a high-level position as branch manager which was about to open up. Friend was told by higher-ups not to bother to apply, the job was already ear-marked for a black female....

This white male professional retired as early as he could in part because he no longer wanted to work in an atmosphere where this sort of betrayal of years of service and accomplishment has become common.....

The day will come when there will be political retribution for 30 plus years of this crap!

Why worry about coming back as a sheep in the next life, if you're one right now?

You go guy...make me laugh and put the BS in its place!

Proper english would regard "male professional" rather than "professional male", as the proper term.

But who can correct the english. (or is it whom could)

The funny thing is that as a programmer, I am the only and I mean only, white male native with whom I work on a regular basis.

The vast majority are immigrants. The balance is made up of women.

So what are all the white guys doing? They are the salesmen. And they are much better paid. They work less and don't have to think nearly as hard. It is a much better deal. They are promoted up the ladder.
