Reverse racism?

What's with all of these people saying that reverse racism isn't real? What is reverse racism? It's just racism, racism entails discrimination against a race. You can be racist to any race. So, my question is, what's the deal with this 'reverse racism' thing?

    There is no such thing as reverse racism as it is used here. All our institutions are run by white people and the institutions themselves are racist. Minorities do not control the power structure so they cannot oppress white people with those institutions.

    That would be the KKK saying that they are up for affirmative action for example. And there may be some merit to it because the general public thinks they are discussing and we all persecute their ideas. They are standing up for their rights and in some cases they are marching to recognition so maybe they have a chance. The beauty of America is that we have the right to believe what we want. I am sure that it is all wrong but who am I

    There is no such thing as reverse racism. Period. It is racism, of another variety.

    I suspect it refers to the fact that you don't have to be white to be racist. Some people forget this!
