There is no such thing as "reverse racism". Racism is racism. A better way to phrase the question might have been: " Why is it racism to discriminate against someone who is black, or hispanic, etc., but "affirmative action" to discriminate against someone who is white?"

Racism is discrimination against one or more races. So, holding a single race out as superior or a single race as inferior would both count.
Reverse racism is just a variant of racism. Most racism is looking down or insulting another race. Reverse racism is holding your own race out as superior, but without actually insulting any other race.

I've actually heard African Americans say that racism is a white person is racist and that when a black person is racist towards a white it is called reverse racism. As to say that it is impossible for a black person to be just a racist
Truly it is a pc phrase. You are a racist if you dislike people of other races than yours, plain and simple!

i completely agree with the first answer by denlp96.
i also want to add that i don't believe that "racism" is as rampid (sorry for the spelling) as many make it out to be. i believe if you carry yourself with dignity, are well-spoken and a good person or worker, people are not going to dislike you simply because of your race. i think it's very easy to cry racism when someone has been turned down for something like a job or college entrance by someone of a different race. i'm not saying it doesn't exist, i just believe it doesn't exist at the level many would like to believe.
