Of course.
I think bisexual people are in an interesting position because we can see things from both sides. I have never been discriminated against when I've had a girlfriend or I've walked down the street with one. I've never had any issues with people thinking I'm straight. On the occasions I've had a boyfriend however, it's a different story. I think to say that straight people can be seriously discriminated against just isn't really true. The way the world is, straight is the default. There's never been a reason for people to believe that they aren't entitled to the same rights as gay people because they are straight, straight people have never lived in fear because they are straight. They are the natural majority and always will be.
I've never felt like I've been discriminated against because I'm a man unless it ties into my sexuality. I've never thought 'Okay, I'm a man and this situation is dangerous for me because of that.' I'm not saying that sexism against men isn't possible, but in comparison to what women have to deal with, can we really complain? Our quality of life is good.
I think people can be racist against white people but I do think that most white people that believe they are being discriminated against because they are white are kind of deluding themselves. There are instances of actual discrimination of course but most of the time white people just want to be seen as victims.
