Its not immigrants who are scapegoats though, it's illegal immigrants that are blamed for whiteys problems.

Now, I bet someone will come in and say something stupid like, "You mean brown illegal immigrants"

Pretty much. The cognitive dissonance often felt when the white male is a failure (in his mind) and the rest of the population are saying "you are privileged'. At best he's going to dismiss it, often he's going to rebel against it, and at worst he's going to accept it as fact and often encounters feelings of "It's all my fault".

And you might want to check on the suicide rate for white males; which is all the other points in that post you chose not to address.


No other population tells whitey he's a victim of another group. Every other group gets told that (often the white male) another population is to blame for them not achieving their full potential
