Scare yourself

White people have never been persecuted in this country (and off the top of my head, I'm having a hard time coming up with a country where white people have been racially persecuted).

That's because white people aren't really white. They can be Jewish, Italian, Irish, British, German, French, etc. etc. etc. And incidentally, the Irish were discriminated against viciously in the early 20th century in this country. The common sign outside businesses at the time was "No Irish Need Apply." Germans in this country were discriminated against during WWII. "White" applies to too many different people, especially in America.
