A good article about how DEI policies in the culture industries (education, entertainment, journalism, law, medicine, etc.) ruined prospects for an entire generation of white men, e.g.

In 2016 and 2017, 27.5 percent of applicants to the screenwriters lab were white men, but they were just 14.7 percent of participants. That figure turned out to be relatively high. Since 2018, just 8 of 138 (5.8 percent) of the fellows selected have been white men. Notably, nearly all have either had some other defining characteristic (disabled, gay) or were partnered with a woman or a person of color. Today, just one in ten millennial programmers at Sundance is a straight white man.
...
In 2014, white men were 31 percent of American medical students. By 2025, they were just 20.5 percent—a ten-percentage-point drop in barely over a decade. “At every step there’s some form of selection,” a millennial oncologist told me. “Medical school admissions, residency programs, chief resident positions, fellowships—each stage tilts away from white men or white-adjacent men… The white guy is now the token.”

Хороший текст (вне зависимости от фактической части, которую надо проверить и продумать).

Интересно, что хорошие (из того, что я заметил, not a statistically significant sample) блоги в Substack и т.д. часто принадлежат как раз белым мужчинам 30-40 лет.
