I often hear people, usually of Caucasian (or white) decent, use the phrase "reverse-racism" when they feel discriminated against (e.g. African-American only scholarships). How can discrimination against Caucasians be reverse-racism? Since Caucasian is a race, discrimination against them would simply be racism. Racism is purely discrimination, hatred, or intolerance of another race. Besides, wouldn't reverse-racism be the opposite of racism, therefore supporting equality?
