Reverse Discrimination - Does It Exist?

What is discrimination?

Although the actual term "discrimination" only refers to the ability to distinguish and differentiate characteristics of discrimination in society, often as an unlawful act, if a person or individual is assessed and treated, or be excluded solely on factors such as race, religion, , sex or age. In the United States, there are several federal laws to prohibit the discriminatory practices in the areas of education, employment and socialInteractions.

What is reverse discrimination?

In the United States, certain racial, ethnic and gender groups have been historically discriminated against, that is, those groups of people are ill or have been treated as inferior human beings because of race, religion, sex or age. One of the most blatant examples is America's former identity as a slaveholding country. African-Americans were treated as property and had few (if any) the rights, simply because of their skinColor.

In America today, the company has gone from this point of view, and steps taken, both legal and social move to correct past injustices committed against oppressed groups. Minorities and women are the biggest beneficiaries of this relatively new measures. However, some felt that the pendulum has swung too far the other way to say that modern politics are nothing more than discrimination in reverse - that is, discriminatory behavior targetinghistorically disadvantaged or dominant group. For example, say many opponents of affirmative action policies by schools, universities introduced, and companies that this policy is unfair charge or consideration for the minorities at the expense of the historically dominant white demographic.

The reverse discrimination controversy

An argument was and is swirling around accusations of reverse discrimination. The proponents of the theory of combat with opponents, many of whom say thatReverse discrimination is a myth. Affirmative action policies are often in the middle of such debates. Those who are pro-affirmative action suggests that the current policy outlined diversity "goals" as "quotas." Instead of discriminating against whites, say proponents, affirmative action levels the playing field by making historically disadvantaged groups a chance to catch up, "."

On the other hand, opponents argue the "affirmative action, that there really is no logical differencebetween "objectives" and "quotas", and trying to find one, twist is only a matter of semantics. They say that affirmative action is not so much to promote diversity encouraged, such as a color-based world view. Instead of assessing the merits of individual candidates on the basis of, say opponents, forcibly injected affirmative action, racial considerations into the equation, creating conflict where there should be no give and minorities an unfair advantage over whites because of the color of theirSkin.
