Positive Racism, also called "positive discrimination" is the practice of discriminating an ethnic group in an effort to promote another ethnic group. In most cases majority ethnicities will be positively discriminated against. It is called "positive" because certain groups of people perceive it as progressive and just to promote a minority on the expense of the majority.
The underlying hypothesis behind Positive Racism is that because majority ethnicities of certain societies are oppressing minority ethnicities it is legitimate to "counter-oppress" them and racially discriminate against majority ethnicites. Often a historic context is also used to justify the discrimination. Because of the actions of their ancestor who have long died, their genetic descendants deserve the punishment for these actions in their stead.
People in favour of Positive Racism will argue that only Institutional Racism is racism and only those who benefit from Institutional Racism can be racist. They deny the existence of Individual Racism , the capacity of an individual to be racist regardless of institutions and their belonging to an ethnic group.
As such a poor, disabled person from a majority ethnicity is still perceived as benefting from Insitutional Racism and the corresponding ethnic privilege even in direct comparison with a healthy, rich-born person from a non-majority ethnicity in that society.

A friend's ancedote about Positive Racism:
I was having a discussion about Senator X's student loan program. I was immediately shut down by two SJWs who said that my opinion doesn't matter because I am part of the majority ethnicity and therefore have gotten all these benefits from society. I suggested to them that me being a part of the majority ethnicity doesn't affect whether or not I pay back a student loan and that suggesting a person's opinion doesn't count because of their race and gender is racist. I then was ganged up on by their fellow SJW friends.
