"Imposing "reverse discrimination" by race is racist."

Dog whistle stuff. Reverse discrimination is a null term. But it plays to a certain segment of the population who feel uneasy that there are a lot more faces of different colors visible in society now.

Which is not to say there aren't any abuses. But it is still far from erasing the advantages of being born white, much less reversing them. And there are a lot of advantages to being white even in these more color blind days.
