That depends - is EVERYONE being denied preferential treatment because of their race? If one race is given preferential treatment, then I think that is racist for everyone involved. If no one is given preferential treatment, then I wouldn't say they were being DENIED preferential treatment, I would say they were being treated the same as all other races.

They both pertain to race,but I don't believe either makes a person a racist. Racism is hatred born out of ingnorance. Giving special treatment or denying special treatment due to race is just stupid.

it is not right, but that´s the way the world goes.
But race is not the only thing that people are discriminated against. Nowadays it is more rich and poor. For some it´s sex, for some it´s age. Bad, but true....

not when a certain group already has an advantage.
It's called compensation, not preference.
Until you live in the shoes of a non-white in a white-majority society and realize what it's like, then you will understand.

None. It is all race-based behaviour. People forget, but they can be prejudiced for as well as against.

no difference at all ... both would be a decision based on race .. thus racism.

It is what it is in either instance; racism.
