Switch this around and you get what has been happening for how many years? Lets face it, for as long as any of us can remember white males have had an advantage
I used to work with a charity providing food for the homeless, this was quite a few years ago now. Somewhere in the region of 90% of the people walking through the door were white males, I doubt they feel they've had an advantage. I spent some time in a pretty deprived area of the UK recently and there were white male individuals who would definitely challenge the idea they have had any 'advantage'.

You can't fight racism with racism. If you try to do this you are a racist.
