Reverse isms are just a more specific type of an ism - instead of being wielded by a privilege group against the historically marginalized, it’s the reverse.

I do agree that it’s unkind to treat those two isms differently, or to condone one while tolerating the other - but pretending that there’s not such thing as the ‘reverse’ case seems silly, when it’s so easy to define and easy to IRL.






Yeah, I understand the intent, but it’s still a bullshit play for identity politics. I so completely hate identity politics. Objectively speaking, the reverse of racism is no racism.
