The fact that white men hold power shouldn't be worrying. Power is often inherited, and America was historically a predominantly white male-dominated nation in the near past.

What we should worry about is this fact being used as an excuse for anti-white racism and anti-male sexism, which is exactly what is happening. People are acting like all white males are the issue when they're not. They're applauding affirmative action while ignoring the fact that white men are now a minority in universities nowadays. They sneer at men embracing their masculinity while applauding women embracing their femininity. They push for equality in high paying fields while ignoring these inequalities in lower-paying ones.

We really should reconsider our methods of facilitating change. It's a double standard, and will be met with cultural and political backlash.
