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?
