1) How did you find out that if you were gay you were less likely to be hired?
2) I'd be very surprised if you aren't mocked or discriminated against over something you have no control over, even as a straight white person, I can probably list at least 50 things I've been mocked for that I have no control over.
3)I'm surprised no one has ever commented on the sexual practices you might have. Also I think it is highly likely that gay male couples do have more anal sex than straight male and female couples.
4)Again, surprised you have never been stereotyped before, non gay people get that all the time, and straight men usually are stereotyped that they have to like sport, fast cars, beer and fighting.
On being white.
1)How do you know you got the job you have because you're white?
2) Personally I think it's more likely a person is discriminated against because of how they act, dress and look like in general, rather than race.
3)Again this is just personal but I have heard plenty of jokes about white people
4) I got told I looked like a caveman in work and told to change my hair when I grew it, I didn't consider it to be discrimination or complain about it, I was just simply slightly annoyed by it, so again I don't see this as something only a black person goes through.
5) I don't hear many white racial stereotypes apart from on tv or youtube when I watch black american comedy shows.
I have heard some in person but I don't live around any black americans so it's usually from asians.
6) I don't work in media or know how the media judges how it's going to report a story so I don't know if they're just reporting the news or if they have some sort of racial conspiracy against certain people like you say.
7) Your race is objectified as a form of fetish, and I'm very very thankful for it, I've been with black and asian girls who said they love white men and so on, and I'm pretty sure the asian girl in particular was having sex with me just to annoy her parents.
Plus the fact that in pornography your race is about 100 times more likely to be portrayed as weak and pathetic and the most likely porn story is going to be that your race is being dominated by a black male.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
