No, it's not that. I raised a big stink about how "reverse discrimination" seems to attribute discrimination to mainly one group of people back in a college social ethics course. It's not that. It's called "reverse discrimination" because white people are still the majority in the USA and are the "dominant" ethnic group. It's a relational thing. If Hispanics were the majority then it would be called "reverse discrimination" if they were discriminated against by white people.

I still think it's a ******** term and is still discrimination, and the implications are that it's one group that does most of it. But above is supposed to be the "real" explanation.

In select areas they are, but whites are still the dominate race in this country by a pretty decent margin.

as sad as it is to say this is very true. but our whole system is weak in areas and strong in others that's just how this country works i don't agree with a lot of it like the guy who got 10 or 15 years for killing his wife and then gets out and gets a 19 yr sentence for coke possession, makes no sense most people get huge sentences for drugs and then child porn you get a day i'll never understand that. and discrimination is discrimination no matter what color or religion you may be and it will never go away b/c we are shown this from the time we are small kids till seniors. but no matter what you do there is always a bleeding heart and most people don't want to look like the bad guy or the bad cop or the bad judge so the best we can do is live our own lives within the "guidelines" whether we like it or not
