+137 It's annoying when people refer to racism against white people as "reverse racism." Racism is racism and it has happened to everyone in history. Calling it "reverse racism" only perpetuates the idea that non-white races are inferior by implying that there's something different about white people that even racism against them would somehow not really be racism, amirite?

Overzealous social justice people make a lot of weird, unneeded terms.

Reverse racism iswhen the regular group suffers from the "underprivileged" of the situation get extra benefits and lower expectancy of quality. I'm not sure if you isn't know what it was or were just saying people overuse the term.

"Discrimination against members of a dominant or majority group, especially when resulting from policies established to correct discrimination against members of a minority or disadvantaged group." That's the thing, when people assume white is the dominant, advataged group. Schools here are 49% Hispanic and 41% white, if you can't be called dominant because of sheer numbers and are disadvantaged by policies that put other groups at an advantage, why is there the assumption that they're still the privileged group?

Yes I agree but I didn't mean only white people, I mean the actual privileged of the group.
