Getting traditionally published in fiction as a straight male is going to be harder nowadays regardless of race/ethnicity simply because women buy 80% of books and are 74% of the publishing industry. But it also depends on your genre and age demographic. Middle Grade and Adult have a pretty even gender split, but YA is almost entirely female and LGBT which is why young men who enjoy reading are increasingly turning toward manga and web novels. Male debut authors in general are decreasing across the board, though.
