    I still can’t believe his cartoon got cancelled due to reverse racism… No, seriously, I can NOT believe that he actually says that shit.

    Edit to add: I’m so confused to see people agree with me in their replies but also obviously downvote me. Maybe they didn’t make it past the first sentence? Oh well, I’ve really been appreciating the discussions I’m reading!

      I can’t stand that term. “Reverse Racism” implies that Racism is supposed to go a specific direction. Anyone who uses it is Racist themselves.

      It’s just Racism. Like “de-evolution”. It’s just evolution numb-nuts!

        I’ve never thought about it but you’re right, anyone using that term is immediately telling on themselves.

          That would be anti

          The term “reverse racism” has been around for decades, a mis-application (sometimes intentional) to imply racism is automatically one way.

      Reverse racism is nonsensical.

      It’s just racism.
