There is much racism aimed at Caucasians and any other "race" not on current preference lists, like American Indians (U.S. Gov't says not a minority).
There is nothing "reverse" about it, which implies inherited racial guilt. It is just racism, period.

As the current trend is to aim towards "diversity", Caucasians are now under the microscope. One word or action taken out of context and a Caucasian will be viewed as a racist. It seems like people feel that Caucasians are naturally racist and must prove themselves to be otherwise. Caucasians must walk on eggshells as to not offend anyone.
I think that people are growing soft. We have taken politically correctness too far. Yes, there was a time when the mainstream Caucasians preached and bread racism towards all that were different. They perpetuated and allowed all kind of evil against those that were different. Unfortunately, some view the current day as pay back time. A time to get back at a system that allowed hatred to fester for so many years past. It is not right to repay evil with evil. Today is a new day, but unfortunately, hatred that was put in the air has found a home. The new target: Caucasians.

Yes, there is definitely Racism directed at Caucasians in today's world. At my school for instance, I can be walking down the hallway and someone will call me names, pertaining to my skin color. (I'm white) None of the Principals or teachers say a word to them. I'm not racist, but many times I am thought to be and I am treated as if i am. It's true that I have to walk on eggshells to say anything that is even remotely condemning another race, but other races can say whatever they want to me and I have to grin and bear it.
Why can't we all just be people? Race shouldn't matter.

Well, I've definitely suffered from this before. I don't like the fact that when some people look at a caucasian, they think they're a bigot and a racist. I have only to look at someone the wrong way, and I could get shot or jumped. I'm not racist, but I'm often treated like I am.

i think all through history that racism against caucasians have always been present. There wasn't a way for the minorities to voice their opinions. Now that people are given more rights they can voice it. I

I do not know about the U.S. but here in Canada its Horid, My son countless times is looked over and "so called minority" is hired for their so called quota (Yet he is more qualified each time). The Government here gives massive incentives to hire these! We all need jobs and help, I know in the past racism was bad but now its against us! I my self was found out of work and replaced by a minority a few years back. (no offence to them) and my Boss spelled it out clear, the Government will pay 50% of his wages for 2 years, so its not the companies fault in a way. To bad it was not more fair for all. The person hired should be hired for their skill and ability to do the job, and not preference to a nation culture or colour.

I think so, all the time you hear causcasians being put down by other races, just look at all the recent cases against policemen. African Americans cry "racisim" at first shot whenever something goes wrong....even if it was an accident. I wish we could just all get along, but I know in this modern world that probably won't happen.

All this fighting has got to stop. White people, black people, latino people, etc. we need to put aside our petty differences and band together...........and get rid of blue people. It's time for the blue man to go. It shouldn't be whites hating blacks, blacks hating whites, but whites and blacks together hating blues. If we can accomplish this, then we will be one step closer to a peaceful, utopian society; without blue people.
I hate blue people.

Oh yes, especially in the work force. If your a minority with a degree, sky is the limit!!!

Racism is racism and it's wrong no matter who does it. There is no such thing as "reverse racism".
