According to this study White Americans are beginning to admit to feeling discriminated against:

From the article:

Both groups felt racism against black people was substantial in the 1950s and both groups agreed the situation had markedly improved.

However, white respondents to the survey indicated that racism is now on the rise against white people. Eleven per cent of people responding to the survey even gave anti-white racism a maximum rating of ten points.

The authors said the research showed America has not yet reached a "post-racial" era, despite the election of Barack Obama as the country's first black president.

Instead, they said there are still "several legal and social controversies" highlighting "reverse racism" against white people, and that the white respondents to the survey felt that racism is now a "zero-sum game" - the less racism that is directed against black Americans has been accompanied by a rise in perceived biases against white Americans.

"Whites believe the pendulum has now swung way beyond equality in the direction of discrimination," it added.
