One of the sneaky ways that the Left legitimizes racism is through the insistence that discrimination and racism can only go one way. Thus they use “reverse racism” to refer to minority hatred for white people.

And the media’s headlines and stories about a recent case of a woman who claimed she was discriminated against at work insist on describing it as “reverse discrimination”.

There is no such thing as ‘reverse discrimination’. There’s either discrimination or there isn’t.

By attaching ‘reverse’ to the kinds of discrimination that leftists approve of, they’re arguing that those kinds of discrimination aren’t really wrong. They’re also pushing the Marxist contention that racism requires some sort of power (and DEI being embedded everywhere from Walmart to the CIA apparently isn’t it) and that racism without power is just a reaction and a non-issue.

Racism isn’t an economic condition. It’s not a product of power. It’s the condition of hating people over their race.

When it comes to manufacturing a term like “reverse discrimination”, it’s even more absurd because discrimination either occurred or it didn’t. If it did occur, those responsible clearly have power.

So does those in the media trying to justify and dismiss the existence of the hate they agree with.

Only bigots call the kinds of discrimination they support “reverse discrimination”.
