You do realize that is exactly why alt-righters believe there is bias against white people? "We need to protect minorities and women from the white male oppressors" is basically the slogan of the identity politics wing of the left. |

No, that's something white nationalists say to each other; I don't see it elsewhere (in any significant quantity). There is overwhelming evidence of discrimination against people who are in minorities and against women, and as these people are largely excluded from power due to that same discrimination, they have little ability to protect themselves. If we believe in liberty, opportunity and meritocracy, and basic morality for everyone, then everyone should do something about it.
For the most part, only white nationalists say white-skinned people are discriminated against (with any significant scale or impact). There is no evidence of it that I've seen and a look around SV and the IT industry, corporate offices, governments and legislatures of every Western nation, college campuses, and any other locale of wealth, power and privilege shows how absurd the idea is. But the argument is not about discrimination, it's propaganda that is about creating hatred, trying to get people to see everyone as friends or enemies based on skin color (which is perhaps why white nationalists think there's some sort of bizarre us vs. them team competition), and providing a (transparent) excuse for racial hatred. Few people are fooled.
