It's just racism, no matter who commits the act.

quote:

rac·ism
'ra?siz?m/Submit
noun
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
"a program to combat racism"
synonyms: racial discrimination, racialism, racial prejudice, xenophobia, chauvinism, bigotry, casteism
"Aborigines are the main victims of racism in Australia"
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
noun: racism
"theories of racism"



The fact that a term like "Reverse Racism " even exist is terrible.

Whomever created this term obviously had an agenda.

Gary chambers thinks "reverse racism" is when anyone is racist against whites. He's a retard.

I think reverse racism is a very discriptive term that makes sense. Not all racism results in negative consequences for those being discriminated against. Some stereotypes are complementary, like being good at math or dancing.

Reverse racism is an accurate term because it describes a conduct with identical roots, but opposite results.

Yes, being nice to someone because they are black is wrong, same as being mean to someone because they are black, but the term makes it easier to distinguish between the two.

That is not how it is used.

Also it wouldnt matter

It would still be racism

Oh, it's still racism, and it's still wrong. I just thought the term was an apt way to describe the phenomenon.

That could be a good idea, but it wouldnt matter because the fact is that nobody uses the term in the way you are describing.

You mean, no one tries to be extra polite to minorities to avoid seeming racist or indulge white guilt? I have witnessed as much personally.

I mean that no one uses the term reverse racism to describe what you are talking about.
