I don't agree with it, but what do you guys think?



This clip about a relevant subject is getting kinda popular so I thought I should bring it up.

Reverse racism is a stupid idea. Either you're racist or you're not. The whole set of a particular color-group of people didn't do anything to you, so you can't "get back" at a whole set of different-color people for anything. There is no "reverse", only racism.

"Racism" doesn't mean Caucasians hating on other races. It means hating a group of people because of their race. If a black guy hates white guys, it's still racism, not "reverse racism".

There is such a thing as reverse racism....but you guys aren't using it in the right context.



If racism is treating another race bad/worse due to their race, reverse racism is treating people good/better because of their race....its also called "affirmative action"

No, affirmative action is racism. It implies minorities need help to get ahead, thereby labeling them as inferior.

There is a lot of people that say they're not racist and are the biggest bigots I've seen. They have no problem with other races yet criticize everything about them.
