a walking oxymoron

a person who's name contradicts itself.

criminal justice oxymoron 

The term which states that "criminal justice" are two words which contradict one another.
Justice cannot, and must not be, criminal. To call that academic field CRIMINAL JUSTICE insinuates that the justice is criminal, therefore unfair, in fact, law-breaking. The term CRIMINAL JUSTICE is insane. That's why I call it the "criminal justice oxymoron." Anyone in their right (correct) mind will vote to replace that term with, for example, SOCIAL JUSTICE.

Anti-oxymoron 

A phrase where a stereotypical or assumed trait is so universally attributed to a group that the descriptor becomes redundant, as it does not add additional meaning beyond the group label itself.
That smelly Indian over there - this is an Anti-oxymoron because all Indians are smelly, making the word smelly redundant.
