I think I’ll just call it decrimination, because it can happen to anyone regardless of who they are… these extra words just makes matters unnecessarily confusing

    because it’s my thought process and I still don’t understand your phrasing or premis

    don’t overthink it…

    Recognise what?

    discrimination whether that’s about race, gender…etc

    Other way round from what?

    for example, if a man is being sexist towards a woman, people say it’s sexism, if a women is being sexist towards a man people say it’s reverse sexism…

    which is dumb, can’t they just call it what it is ? sexism… why do we have to make it something unique… But like others answered, words can have many meanings… It’s the addition of unecessary words that makes it weird to me

      Oh, gotcha.
      Yeh, call it out when appropriate.
      I guess it’s good that those people are recognising some discrimination. Just need to guide them towards calling it discrimination instead of a qualified discrimination (or positive discrimination).

      I don’t know anyone who says “reverse racism” or “reverse sexism” that isn’t a douchebag and/or a bigot.
