There's no denying double standards when it comes to racial issues, so that may be the origin of the term "reverse racism". Maybe if the double standards are removed, then the term will go away.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371841750506260427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726120322588904573.post-75171157523683111992010-07-15T23:29:51.361-05:002010-07-15T23:29:51.361-05:00Q, let me point out an additional possibility/moti...Q, let me point out an additional possibility/motive in using the phrase "reverse racism". Many American whites suspect that American minorities have a double standard when it comes to racism- that minorities think that it's ok to suspect or accuse whites of racist behavior by default, while automatically considering their own motives and actions as above reproach or suspicion, simply because they consider themselves the oppressed minority by default. <br /><br />I'm not necessarily endorsing any particular viewpoint about this phrase, simply stating that many people use the term as a way to call attention to what they consider hypocrisy on the part of minorities.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17976057387389388800noreply@blogger.com
