Of course there is no such thing as reverse racism, or reverse discrimination. It is just discrimination or racism. People use the term "reverse" to denote situations where the person suffering the discrimination comes from the socially dominant class - the reverse or typical discrimination when the majority class discriminates against the less powerful class.

How's this: I applied to a college and so did the daughter of someone that my mom worked with. Both of us had very similar grades, similar amounts of activity, jobs, sports, etc. I believe she scored a 28 or a 29 on her ACT while I scored a 32. I did not get in to the college. The girl not only got in, but got a partial scholarship. She was black, I am white. Now there could be more to that story somehow, but if there is I am surely missing it.

What about "hate crime" You attack someone because they're another race than you, then you have to show intent. I believe the No. 1 cross-racial crimes are black on white, virtually none of them are prosecuted as "Hate crimes"

"Hate Crime" bothers me a lot. If someone kills someone else, and they get less punishment because it isn't a "hate crime." That makes no sense to me.
Couldn't we conclude that all murder is a hate crime?

I can almost 100 percent attest "hate crime" came out of the Rodney King debacle in the early 1990s.
Of course, this comes from the city who is too proud to say it suffered riots, and would instead call the riots "civil unrest."

While you're at it, what situations can you think of where there is disrespect but no counter opinion? I'll use the term reverse if I feel it communicates something. |

Silly goose, it doesn't exist. Everybody knows whites are the only race capable of racism.
