Whats the deal...It seems like the tables are being turned all of the sudden. Has anyone else noticed this?

Reverse discrimination didn't happen all of a sudden; it's been around for many years. I know; it's happened to me many times.

I agree with the first answer, discrimination is discrimination regardless of whom it is directed at.
It's to be expected though and has been repeated in history, it's human nature. An oppressed group will gain status and act as the group that once suppressed it.
In absolutely no way do I support this, make no mistake I find discrimination in any form absolutely disgusting and those that are committing this "reverse discrimination" should be overly ashamed of themselves. Basically there is no progress gained like this and really quite offensive to all the people out there that work for equality.
No matter who you are, gender, race, sexualtiy, etc... discrimination is discrimination and if you use it against one person you support its use no matter what. You can not ask for something you won't give.

People are being hired now because they are a minority, gay etc. over people who are better qualified. Affirmative Action actually does the opposite of what it was intended for.
Example #1 If 10% of the US population is African American , then the government must hire 10% African American in every department. Thus, they are being hired because of their race.
Example #2 While I was in college, 3% of my graduating class where women. None of the women where in the top of the class but all of them and only the women where offered jobs working for companies or the government.
I've noticed this for quite some time and companies are actually affraid to fire a person, even if they should be, if they fall into minority profile because they can file a lawsuite and 99% of the time win even if they should have been fired.

Hopefully their mentality will soon mature to the level appropriate to their newly found freedom, political and social power

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS REVERSE DISCRIMINATION. DISCRIMINATION IS DISCRIMINATION REGARDLESS OF WHO IS THE TARGET. ALSO, YOU DON'T SAY WHO IS TURNING THE TABLES ON WHOM, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. SORRY
