Well, there are white people who suffer discrimination now. "Hicks" and "bogans". I observe this all the time. Class discrimination is certainly real.

I went off and read the [livejournal.com profile] rivka post to which you linked. The phenomenon you describe, and it describes, seems to be a natural outgrowth of the discourse of the POC/unpacking-the-knapsack community, which rests on a whole host of generalisations about both "sides" of the POC experience. The whole community is based on a generalise-specialise convection current beginning with various "manifestos" of how to relate to a POC. That's what happens when a political programme chooses to "keep it real" by commencing with the deliberate abandonment of reality's nuances.
