Reverse discrimination is a null term Only in the sense that all discrimination, is discrimination. Discrimination against white people, or Asians, isn't reverse, just discrimination with a different target. And there are a lot of advantages to being white even in these more color blind days. If black people get discriminated for in a few ways, and discriminated against in more ways, the discrimination for them is still discrimination and still objectionable. Its even more objectionable if its pushed by government policy paid for by our tax payers. Each form of discrimination, and each discriminatory act, is its own thing, the wrongness of it doesn't get canceled out by other forms of discrimination in the other direction. (Actually I should probably use a different term than discrimination, discrimination isn't always wrong, many forms of discrimination are good, but I was just following your usage, apparently with discrimination being a short form for "unjust or unreasonable discrimination based on race")
