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.

when a majority realize for racial equality to really happen they have to sacrifice a little instead of having it magically happen.
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.

This term should be used in two ways:
1)Plain old regular racism towards a race or ethnic group. It doesn't matter who is doing the discriminating, it's still racism.
2)A situation where races are all treated equally. So basically an average human being who isn't a complete prick.
Generally racist minorities use this term to describe their being racist to a "dominant race." Yes, in America and MANY other places in the world, this does happen. But it is claimed as "reverse-racism" to make it a different term and therefore acceptable in said minority's community.
If you want a clearer explanation, it's when a minority is racist to a "dominant race" and use this term to make it okay.

1) Joe, a black man: Hey Richard, how's your privileged day going, you white piece of sh*! I hope your race dies!
Richard, a black man: Woah! Watch your "reverse-racism!" I'm pretty sure that's still racism towards me and my race, but my day's been fine until you came along.
Joe:Yeah, keep going! I hope you're run over by a car, mauled by dogs, and f**ing die!
Richard:Yeah...sure...you too?

Racism against groups that have higher average levels of intelligence then the group they are being discriminated against by. Is worse than normal racism because capable people (a limited resource) are being misused, and because people with lower IQ's have a harder time learning why and how to be objective... a task which is hard enough to begin with.
A 105 IQ Indian science professor frequently straw mans arguments (that he doesn't understand) of high IQ Caucasian students in his class or calls them lazy (Because they ace exams with less study time) and tries to punish their learning methods instead of lack of functional knowledge. This is reverse racism. A university has a quota system requiring them to admit blacks over whites with higher grades and IQ scores. etc

Reverse racism: giving favoritism to an individual or group within a subset of people on the basis of their belonging to that subset of people.
These actions are examples of reverse racism:
Giving extra hours to workers on the basis of their national origin.
"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.
