Topic > The Pros and Cons of Reverse Discrimination - 770
Reverse discrimination is defined by Merriam Webster as “the practice of making it more difficult for a certain type of person (such as a white man) to get a job, go to school , etc., because other people who were treated unfairly in the past are now being advantaged.” But this statement is not true because it is an act of bigotry, unlike discrimination, bigotry has no power behind it, and is simply opinions. Therefore, the dominant actor is the power and commits prejudicial acts, which results in discrimination. When the role is reversed, the subordinate actor is a bigot, it is not considered reverse discrimination because the actor in this scenario is not an agent of the systemic system
