I don't think you can say white people haven't experienced racial discrimination. Most of us haven't, but I'm sure in the history of the world you'll find some examples.

Ahhhh the Irish are some of historically the most discriminated whites.

Also Poles.

The Nazis were planning to ethnically purge all Slavs.

Also, you know.

Jewish people.

Perhaps but British white people have never. This police officer is being an absolute cry bully for doing this. She now has to go to a criminal trial! Unbelievable.

British white people have never

As long as you forget about the Irish, the Welsh, and (to a lesser extent IIRC) the Scots - all of whom are white and British.
