<<Have any examples of discrimination against white, Christian, heterosexual, males yet? >>

Yep, me. In 1979 the state of Illinois was going to hire 20 more game wardens. I drove to Springfield for an application. The black woman in charge said I wasn't qualified because I didn't have 2 years of college. I had 3. Then she said it was because I wasn't a veteran. I showed her my DD214 (honorable discharge from the Army). Still wouldn't give me an application because I wasn't a minority or a woman. The 20 they hired were all white males.
