"Pedro gets to work overtime because he's Mexican and Mexicans work."
Hiring workers on the basis of their gender.
Employer: "Congratulations Bimby, you got the job!"
Cindy: "Thank you so much! But, my name is 'Cindy' not 'Bimby' silly!"
Loving someone because they are from a country you like.
Infatuated woman: "You French people are so sexy! I love you Pierre!"
Claude: "My name isn't Pierre... "

the act of acting prejudice against someone of their own race, especially because that person does not fit the typical persona of a particular race.
Blacks calling another black person "white" because they act, to them, more like a white person than a black person. Calling someone a "white nigger" would be a prime example of reverse racism.

Using stereotypes of your own race to your advantage.
Contrary to popular belief, the phrase is often referred to someone of a minority being racist against a race of majority. This is in fact ordinary racism. Reverse racism is almost just the opposite, where one uses the typical stereotypes of their race to weed out of dangerous or complicated situations while elevating themselves in society.

"It is commonly known athletes take their sports seriously. It is reverse racism to assume you will be better paid or receive better scholarships because of your race."

reverse racism is racism directed at individuals in the majority, the haves, the man, & the system. It is not directly provoked, yet cumulative resentment. It is DENIED by victimhood minorities as to how they could perpetrate such active, targeted rancor in the opposite direction.
reverse racism is EVERYBODY in the majority is responsible for our pain, poverty, & problems. We then resent, trash talk behind their backs; or, on occasion bully, beat up, & rob them. Our other option is to resent them for not being woke & not instantly adopting our point of view.... AS IF EVERYBODY MARCHES AGAINST BIRTH DEFECTS OR CANCER ?? !! ??

hey woah, listen bud, we gotta have a talk here, you can be racist towards white people, you know how? by saying you cant be racist towards white people, like really you think white people make up most of the population of the planet? like if you take in numbers its probably Asian people, if you have like every person from Asia, and you can still be racist towards them, if you think its impossible to be racist towards white people then you are probably the bad type of protestor who uses it as an opportunity to break into places and ruin it for the rest of them.
