You are wrong Margaret. It isn't "reverse racism".

It IS racism. Pure and simple. Treating one section of the population differently simply because of their racial origins is RACIST. It matters not who is on the receiving end of it.

We've had it drummed into us that only black/asian/jews etc can suffer racist abuse and that the only ones who can be racist are the caucasians (Is that still an acceptable term?) This is total nonsense and it's about time we had some equality.
