Just so you know, I have been denied jobs, because I was white.
I have been denied promotions, because I was white.
I actually heard a black manager over the phone say: "I wouldn't hire that white B****h if my life depended on it.

By the way, they made no bones about telling me that was the reason for the various jobs and promotions.

"If you look at the actual numbers and percentages, they completely correspond to the population of the country."

Incorrect. Please take the time to read the link.

"Haywood County, a majority-Black community not far from Memphis, has one health department, one nursing home and no hospitals. The fatality rate of covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, is 50 percent higher than the state average.

A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory group has signaled it will recommend prioritization of certain essential workers, in part to address racial disparities exposed by the pandemic. People of color are overrepresented in industries such as food processing and transit, in jobs impossible to do from home."

As for your anecdotal experience, how many more people of color do you think have experienced the same exact thing in their lifetimes?
