This is the reality of being a minority.
You can try to explain it away by 'discrimination' but that's only part of the story.
The truth is that white men are no longer the 'default' or the 'standard', so you're no longer appealed to in the same way.
You can be entirely ignored by industries that will nonetheless still profit. 60 years ago that wasn't the case outside niche areas of interest.
Honestly? You'd better get used to it. It's not going to change because there's no economic reason for it to do so. Besides, it's not like you've given other minorities a reason to care about your plight after being highly reactionary for so long. It's like the Dave Chappelle bit about not giving a shit that white people are dealing with an opioid crisis after they downplayed or ignored blacks going through the same thing.
While other minorities were building political networks via intersectionality throughout the 20th century, you guys got yourselves isolated through your own arrogance.
There is an upshot though. When you're no longer the 'standard', you're no longer required to write in a way that has broad appeal. As you lose power and numerical supremacy, it becomes increasingly possible to write works for other white men the same way other ethnicities can. In a sense, you get a stronger identity by becoming weaker. And that identity might actually produce something culturally interesting or valuable, at least once you guys abandon the dream of ethnic supremacy which is obviously not going to happen.
