Going by the definition Niamh posted I'd say that 'reverse racism' isn't really 'racism' as such and unless all workplaces and so on hired a significant majority of one race in favour of others then it really isn't an issue.

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.

Agree with this about racism in general though. It can exist against anyone of any race and as someone implied earlier, people shouldn't be shamed or made to feel silly about being offended if someone held racist or any other type of prejudiced views against them just because they've never been oppressed.
