That is the part that is changing.
So the term angry white man fits.
I also see much of this as the last great battle of dominance.
How long to the end ? not sure but should be soon.
I'm not picking on 'the white man' as it is just my observation of history from my point of view.
But know that the world is a much more complicated place for everyone. But for those becoming more of a minority, it seems threatening.
For the record, I am a white man, part native American, but truly American.

I'm also white with a small amount of Native American and I also see it very much as angry white man syndrome.
I personally dont have any issues with people of different races. I think it's long past time everyone has a equal shot. On the flip side I dont give excuses for minorities who use racism as an excuse their life is a failure.
If it was still the 60s then sure racism was playing a role, but in today's world in America, racism or not any person can make it if they try. Might not be the 1st try but with hard work anyone can move them selves up a few pegs in this country.
You might not get as much as you hoped, but any able bodied person with a bit of common sense can live a good life in this country.
