Does Heterophobia Exist 2.0 Redux Extreme: Race Edition
*ahem* Anyway short answer from me; Racism exists in all forms, against all ethnicities. If a white person walks through a "black neighbourhood" in Los Angeles and feels threatened or experiences harassment because of their skin colour, then that is racism. Full stop. INSTITUTIONAL racism does not exist in any meaningful form against white people in the west. It ----*does exist*----, however, in some Asian countries such as Japan and the Koreas. I've had people argue against me on this one on here before but it does exist. It is a fact. |

That's second hand info obviously but does otherwise come from someone who has been obsessed with Japan for most of his life and lived there for years. He actually ended up moving back because he started to feel very out of place. |

I personally would imagine it's a "must go" for anyone wanting to travel the world. Say a week in Tokyo and a week in rural Japan. Both are pretty unique. |

People who are saying that it exists are misunderstanding what Reverse Racism is and are confusing it with racism in general.
It doesn't mean that black people can't be racist towards white people, that's nothing to do with it. It's about the idea that things like Black History Month, Black Lives Matter and other black-centric things are racist to white people because it isn't about them which is a ridiculous, self absorbed and ignorant thought process.

Here is the definition of reverse discrimination
the unfair treatment of members of majority groups resulting from preferential policies, as in college admissions or employment, intended to remedy earlier discrimination against minorities. http://dictionary.reference.com/brow...discrimination

Sounds more like Positive discrimination towards minorities = Reverse racism toward majorities?

It's a definition that only works in theory, the phrase as a whole is just something to propagate the idea that minorities are somehow privileged for having quota laws in place when it's not. There are more opportunities for white people in this world then there are for black people and that's a fact and those laws are just there to guarantee opportunities for people who would probably not have them otherwise due to the fact that many societies (America especially) are up to their necks in institutional racism.

But does it exist? No. We have pretty much colonised the entire world, and during that period we pretty much gave white people superiority over the natives of those countries, established our own language as the global 'default', and so racism cannot properly exist against white people because we have power and privilege in society. You need both of those things to be be actively 'racist' so to speak.

The only explanation I can think of is that someone, at some point, heard someone else say that only a majority race (in the West, white people) can be and often are institutionally racist and got confused and thought it applied to all racism and then that idea spread. But it doesn't apply. It's a misunderstanding of what the term means and implies. |

I don't believe the term 'reverse racism' exists. So no, I don't believe 'reverse racism' is real, it's just standard racism. Anyone of any colour can be racist to anyone of any colour. I don't think it's right to say otherwise.

I think I should add to this that I don't at all think it's "racist" to have things like black history month, celebrate music of black origins, or any of the other celebrations of identity that "white people don't have" and it IS ridiculous when people claim that they are or try to pretend that for "equality" we would need white equivalents. Obviously, we don't, and all of these things are great positives.
However pointing out that those things are clearly not racist doesn't mean that it "doesn't exist", in many other scenarios. |
