Reverse Racism

This definition is well needed on this platform: The fundamental idea that racism toward white people is not as bad as racism towards other minority groups. Yes, a minority can be racist towards a white person, but the inherent idea of reverse racism is that the discrimination minorities face solely because of their race should not be compared to the "so -called" discrimination that white people face. When white people are denied jobs because of their physical characteristics associated with their race, denied housing in a certain neighborhood because of their race, denied admission into a school SOLELY because of their race (that exceeds the thousands of minority groups rejected from schools throughout American history) , then they might be able to complain about racism. When white people are killed solely because of their race or have their academic credentials questioned because of their race, then they can complain about racism. Until this happens, white people should not compare the racist comments (because that's literally as bad as racism gets for them) to the racist actions that have literally killed millions of minorities throughout American history because it is an unequal comparison and utterly disrespectful to the minority groups that have been murdered because of a God-given physical characteristic.
