Technically, it is a reaction to racism towards non-Caucasian people. It includes economic and political benefits in effort to compensate for past and ongoing social oppression experienced by non-Caucasians.
Such oppression ranges from marginalization to physical abuse to childhood emotional scarring to the gym teacher shouting "DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH" to every Chinese kid he sees. But none of these examples are anywhere near as catastrophic when compared to a reactionary anti-white joke told by a black standup comedian. From this reasoning emerges the term "reverse racism".
With respect to the term itself, "reverse racism" implies that there is backwards logic behind racism against Caucasians, and that it is somehow more deserving of disapproval than just regular racism.
Furthermore, "racism" and "reverse racism" can be interpreted as binary oppositions, where "racism" is the (socially conditioned to be) acceptable state, while "reverse racism" is the unacceptable counterpart.
Reverse racism can also be interpreted as a defense mechanism for "white man's guilt".

Get the Reverse Turtle Head mug.Instead of a standard C-section, the baby cuts his or her way out of the mother's abdomen and uterus with a sword, usually either a Longsword or Claymore, and yells "I HAVE SLAIN THY BEAST" and proceeds to cut his or her own umbilical cord.
Person 1: Hey you heard about the new kid?
Person 2: Yeah I wouldn't mess with him, heard he was a reverse C-section.

Get the Reverse C-Section mug.This is the champagne of sexual positions. The girl is in the same position as reverse cowgirl but is bent over backwards as if in an old MTV style wipeout... the scorpion.
The other night my girl hit me with that good reverse cowgirl scorpion. The perfect balance of sexual deviancy and sensual eye contact.

Get the Reverse Michael Jackson mug.Sexual Act.
Whilst partaking in anal sex, the recieving party will begin pushing out a log of excrement till it makes contact with the tip. At this point, the giving party will ejaculate, injecting his load into the log. This will result in the formation of a Tonbridge Reverse Eclair, which may be decorated with seepage.
