A lot of white men are "walking around on eggshells at work" and afraid to speak freely, according to a new poll.
Almost two in three 18-to-29-year-old White men are too afraid to voice their opinions at work for fear of being fired, according to a poll by J.L. Partners for Tim Samuels' new 5-part YouTube and podcast series, "White Men Can't Work!"

"We had a dean that said we could only hire someone, a professor, if it wasn't a White or Asian man," Abbot said. "Yeah, I didn't realize that at the time, but it's all happening, like, you know, behind the scenes kind of business. And so I was like, this doesn't seem right."
