Compound noun. In its most basic sense, reverse racism implies the opposite of good old, healthy, classic racism the way it was always meant to be - against black people. A reliable source of white complaints about affirmative action and words like "cracker". Apparently, hypocrisyis an apt synonym, implying that non-whites have no right to weild the weapons of a damning social construct that was invented to be used against them for political and monetary gain. Isn't it obvious that today's reverse racism hurts white people far more than centuries of state-sanctioned violence and systematic oppression ever could?
Everyone would have forgotten all about the whole race issue by now if black people weren't constantly throwing reverse racism in our faces!

Get the reverse racismmug. Reverse racism is a term used to try and explain that some people are using the term "racism" itself in a racist manner by calling someone racist based on their skin colour.
"Only (enter race here) people can be racist."
The person saying this is guilty of the term 'reverse racism' as they themselves are actually being the racists by blanketing a whole race as being racist.

white person: dude why is there so much financial aid for minorities and so little for white people. this is reverse racism
other person: well cause minorities are at a disadvantage. a lot of them dont come from rich homes because their ancestors had a very low standing in america. their children are at a disadvantage at schools. without aid, very few minorities would reach for the stars and rather stay in the mud.

Get the revisionist racismmug. "CASUAL RACISM" is when somebody uses Racist words or phrases but uses it as a regular world/insult just like any other words or phrases, NOT directing it as an attack on other races/religion.
The people who use "CASUAL RACISM" don't use it as intentional racial term, nor do they often have anything against other races and religions, but they use it as "normal" word or insult.
Often people who have Rap/Hip-Hop influences in their life use this, mainly fans of Tupac, N.W.A, Eazy-E etc...
"CASUAL RACISM" is often picked up from listening to Rap/Hip-Hop artists who use "Nigga" and such terms in their songs.
