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

The thing that’s dumbest about it is that reverse racism would be hating your own race rather than another. Like, racism is hate/prejudice/discrimination against a different race than your own. It’s right there in the concept itself.
The fact that it was white racists that came up with the term says a whole lot about how dumb most racists are.
I don’t think it’s against “your own” it’s the belief that one is better than the other. That can mean you believe yours is worse than others too.
what you are describing is more frequently termed “internalized racism” and is pretty distinct from the reverse racism concept.
i don’t think anything you write here is wrong per se, you are just a little off with the terminology :)
What I’m saying is that if “reverse racism” was a thing in the first place*, rather than the idiotic dog whistle that it is, that that’s what it would be.
