- kelukelugames 11y agoIs there a different way I could voice disagreement with the use of the phrase reverse racism?
- dang 11y agoComments about pet peeve phrases tend to be low quality and off topic, but if you had offered an insight instead of a snarky dismissal, that would have been better. Also, ideological buzz-language like "are white people such special snowflakes" never does any good, regardless of what position you favor.
- kelukelugames 11y agoThanks.
- aikah 11y ago> "Reverse racism" is not a real thing. I swear people invent ways to feel persecuted Reverse racism is certainly a real thing. Bigotry against white people is certainly a real thing. Go spend 5 minutes on salon.com, come back and tell me with a straight face that these people don't flirt with racism against white people. As a black person, this kind of ideology isn't helping me. It's only helping pundits selling outrage.
- kelukelugames 11y agoRacism against whites exists, but labelling it reverse racism is asinine. Are white people such special snowflakes that discrimination against them needs an unique name? It's as dumb as the term reverse sexism. Claiming Salon advocates for racism against whites promotes outrage. People are too sensitive.
