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.

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

Does 3 Asian women beating up a white girl whilst calling her a “white slag” got a slap on the wrist, yet the white woman on the Train or Bus who verbally attacked black and asian people and was locked up in Prison for three years count as reverse racism? I'm kinda torn on how to term those decisions that got completely different outcomes from what was essentially racism in both cases.
