Reverse Racism - No evidence - Outside America.

I think this article is bias in its layout, there is a vast amount of evidence of Reverse Racism around the globe, especially in Europe.

We have Asian (Arab) terrorists targeting and killing Europeans. Over 20,000 white girls between 7 years old up to 20 have been targeted and raped by Asian men in Europe, this not including adults. We have gangland videos, quite a large number of Black and Asian teens slandering white peoples and attacking white peoples in public. We have in my nation an Education fund to educate and train African and Asian peoples. We have an asylum fund to home refugees and migrants from ethnic nations which excluded white refugees during the Russian conflict, so there is such a thing as black privilege also (gaining special treatment) based on skin colour when all skin colours should be treated the same no matter what.

I could go on and its a shame I cannot post videos or photos.

There is a vast amount of evidence proving reverse racism on a global scale, and it should be added here. 2A00:23C8:8580:1C00:39EB:D68B:9D56:BDD0 (talk) 18:28, 22 May 2020 (UTC)curiousJoe

Misplaced Pages does not publish original research. Whether any of these things constitute "reverse racism" (assuming they even exist) depends on whether published, reliable sources directly say so. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 20:06, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

Concept or belief?

The article should describe it as a belief, and not a concept. There is little evidence that reverse racism exists. SarahMinuit (talk) 22:17, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Except the belief itself doesn't go by the name reverse racism. It's a concept that a significant number of people (mistakenly) believe in, but I'm not sure how best to impartially convey that in the opening sentence. Open to other suggestions. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 20:03, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

...The reason why you don't know how to "impartially convey" your opinion is because you're clearly not impartial. The only "mistaken belief" about "reverse racism" is that it should be made a distinct category from General Racism. 86.14.40.196 (talk) 12:26, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

1960s usage?

The term reverse racism came into use as the struggle for African-American rights divided the white community. In 1966, Hosea Williams of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), publicly accused members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) of reverse racism in their efforts to exclude or expel white people from local government in Alabama to make room for black people. Williams argued the SNCC's intended "all-black" campaign in Alabama would drive white moderates out of the civil rights movement. Black racism was a more common term in this era, used to describe SNCC and groups like the Black Panthers.
  1. "Strife on Two Civil Rights Fronts in Alabama: SNCC is Scored by King Group". Chicago Daily Defender. April 25, 1966. p. 1. The move was called 'reverse racism' by Hosea Williams, Southern program director for King's Southern Christian Leadership conference. He described the effort to exclude all whites from public office as being as racist as excluding all blacks. It isn't integration, he indicated, and it isn't likely — in the long run — to help cure the nation's number one headache.
  2. Sustar, Lee (October 12, 2012). "The fallacy of 'reverse racism'". Socialist Worker.

I removed this from the article. Hosea Williams's statement seems unduly weighted coming from a primary source, neither source is a major newspaper with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy, and the first sentence (in bold) seems to be original research. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 20:26, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Change title or broaden category

Reverse racism is solely defined as a black vs white issue. If the page on racism includes examples of racism against all races, the page on reverse racism should state that

Reverse racism or reverse discrimination is the belief that social and economic gains by one racial group cause disadvantages for a different racial group.

And the go on to specific examples. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1005:b06b:e81:902d:8b8:1d05:15a4 (talk) 04:57, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

The published sources used in the article clearly discuss the topic in the context of American black–white relations. Going beyond the meaning of the sources would be original research. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 10:22, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
