Thoughts on Reverse Racism

When people discuss reverse racism or going through situations where they were mistreated because they were the minority – even if they are white and the majority is black, this is not considered racism, this is considered prejudice. People are constantly treated unfairly and with prejudice, but are not experiencing racism. Racism (see Black history in America) refers to not only individual instances but also societal and structural oppression. It’s important to make this distinction, especially when people bring up points about ‘reverse racism.’ Most arguments about reverse racism include instances of prejudice behavior and not actual racism.
