They need to be hit smack in the reputation, and the wallet. Then they need a few pesky lawsuits filed against them. I am really surprised there aren't more white people suing for discrimination.

Suing under discrimination is not easy or cheap. Need to file with federal EEOC first, and ask for right to sue. Then comes the lawsuit. Lawyer is $500-$1000 per hour, and only works on contingency if there's a likely payout at the end.
Plus you need damages-- so you have to get fired, lose a promotion, or some other quantifiable event. Then you need evidence that discrimination occurred, and it's not because they don't like you (legal in most places), or some other reason. This is an uphill battle in the best of circumstances, and that's assuming the judge or whoever decides the case believes white people can be discriminated against.
