I hear the term "reverse racism" being used when referring to white people being treated poorly by people of "other than European descent". The first thing I have to say is that I HATE the politically correct terms that we are forced to use when it comes to ethnic backgrounds. We all know that everyone is different and that a black man has different skin color than a white man. If you are actually FROM Africa and you become an American citizen, then you are indeed "African-American". That is just an example and by no means the only example. Anyway, back to this reverse racism thing. Reverse racism is a complete load of crap. If the white man is going to call being mistreated by someone of another ethnic background "reverse racism", that implies that racism itself is OWNED by the Caucasians and means that racism ONLY exists when a white person is mistreating someone else of a different ethnic background than himself. Caucasians do not own racism and cannot claim reverse racism when being mistreated by someone of another ethnic background. That being said, reverse racism is a fallacy. That means it is completely made up. Racism is racism and racism is complete crap. We shouldn't be hating on other people just because of their ethnic background. Whether you are White, Black, Chinese, or Indian, I'm going to like you or hate you based on the way you treat me and treat others and not by the color of your skin or the accent you speak with. Take this "reverse racism" term and throw it away with the term "twerk" and set it on fire so we never have to hear it again. It's junk.
