Yes - context was academic hiring.  But it wasn't some soft institutional stuff like bonus points for being diverse.  It was literally an individual person vocalizing out loud for everyone to hear, "I took this guy off the list because he's a white male."

(This is also despite us already having implemented, at the behest of administrators worried about diversity in hiring, a points-based system for hiring that supposedly takes subjectivity out of the mix, and this guy was on the list and qualified based on the points system.)

I have personally witnessed more outright discrimination against white men than any other group.  (Not talking about online hate, where I do see a lot of racism against non-whites. I'm talking about personal, offline experiences.)

I have a guess -- academic hiring stuff and University bureaucracy -- but I'd be curious if you'd share any details.  Or even: broad strokes.
