The alt-right increasingly claims that White men are becoming targets of discrimination, yet few studies examine how, and for whom, perceived (reverse) discrimination manifests among White men. We address this oversight by examining rates of change in perceptions of ethnic and gender discrimination across 10 annual waves of a nationwide sample of White men (2014 to 2023; N = 20,486). Latent class growth analysis revealed that most White men (82.75% of participants) reported low and stable perceptions of discrimination over time, alleviating concerns of widespread discontent. However, we identified a Disenfranchised class (8.49%) that perceived moderate discrimination and a Radicalized class (8.76%) whose initially low levels of perceived discrimination increased markedly over time. These classes differed across socio-demographic variables, socio-political attitudes and well-being measures. We thus identify how, and for whom, perceptions of discrimination change over time among White men and how these changes undermine health and progressive social change.
极右翼势力越来越多地声称白人男性正成为歧视的目标，但很少有研究探讨在白人男性中，感知到的（反向）歧视是如何表现的，以及对谁表现出来。我们通过研究全国范围内白人男性样本（2014年至2023年；N = 20486）的10次年度调查中种族和性别歧视观念的变化率，来解决这一疏漏。潜在类别增长分析表明，大多数白人男性（82.75%的参与者）报告称随着时间推移对歧视的感知较低且稳定，这减轻了对普遍不满情绪的担忧。然而，我们识别出了一个被剥夺权利的类别（8.49%），他们感知到中度歧视，以及一个激进化的类别（8.76%），其最初较低的歧视感知水平随着时间的推移显著增加。这些类别在社会人口统计学变量、社会政治态度和幸福感指标方面存在差异。因此，我们确定了白人男性中歧视观念如何以及对谁随时间变化，以及这些变化如何损害健康和进步的社会变革。
