The Stupidity of Reverse Racism

The term “Reverse Racism” is among the, if not THE stupidest phrases used in the english language. For those that have been living in an all-white bubble it means this:

Someone of a racial minority hanging shit on someone of the majority. The fucked up thing is that it assumes that the racial majority of any particular place are the only people that CAN be racist.

Wow! Such power!

“Reverse racism” is a racist term, mainly because it’s only ever white folk that seem to be exposed to “reverse racism.”

It’s also a pointless term. Think about it.

If I buy something from a street vendor and then the street vendor buys something from me, there is no reverse-buying! We are both paying money for goods or services! We are both buying. There is no reversal. What there IS is a couple of people doing the same thing.

If I say hello to someone and they reply with hello, there is no “reverse-hello.”

There is no reverse-buying. There is no reverse-hello. There is no reverse-racism. Only stupidity.
