The "deaths of despair" trifecta — alcoholism, overdose & suicide — hit unskilled middle-aged white men in the US uniquely hard, and this seems to be the one demographic we're totally fine shitting on in lieu of bothering to look for any kind of systemic problem (mobile.twitter.com)

The joke is of course that it's due to all of this "anti"-discrimination bullshit that white people are better behaved, at least in low-end jobs where you don't get because of connections.

As you say, you can kick a white man out pretty easily. So if a white man makes trouble, causes drama, doesn't do his job, whatever - he won't last long. You don't see shitty white people in low-end jobs that often because they'll get fired before you see them. On top of that, if a white man actually wants to keep his job, he'll do his best to at least stay out of sight.

If you fire a minority on the other hand, now you get to go explain to a judge why you didn't do it just cuz he black. It's not (yet?) generally that hard to win that provided you didn't actually fire him cuz he black, but it does take some time, money, and effort. That raises the threshold for taking action, which means minorities get away with more. The minorities in turn know this and feel free to make use of the situation.

Result: the white people are doing the bulk of the work and the minorities are causing most of trouble.

You do see shitty white people in high-end jobs - in that case it tends to be the grand poobah's idiot nephew or the like, whom nobody dares touch because of that. Those people are protected similarly to the minorities albeit in a different manner, and then the shittiness comes out.
