So how is this not reverse-racism?

Because it is actual racism.

Film Academy approves measure to enhance diversity after criticism of Oscar nominations.

However, current ratios of award winners are in-line with US population numbers of blacks/whites. So how is this not reverse-racism?

Because it is actual racism.

Yep. In the most literal sense, "reverse racism" is racism against one's own race. To say that minorities who are racist against white people is "reverse racism" supports the definition that racism is a belief that the majority race is superior to the minority race.

If this is the new way we are going to do things I guess the rosters on all NBA and NFL teams will be looking much different soon...

All this hypocrisy kinda makes your head spin doesn't it?

Im pretty sure when someone says "reverse racism" they instead mean "racism by the minority party who is the stereotypical victim of racism". (the flow of hatred is going the opposite direction from the norm)

White man hating black man for being black: racism
Black man hating white man for being white: racism (not reverse racism,)

And someone saying "I cant be racist because I'm black" steams me. ANYONE can be a racist, bigot, etc. It doesnt matter who you are.

A man gets prosecuted for shooting an intruder.
Fortunately the judge threw the case out.

 

[historian]

Russia and China certainly won't take advantage of this.

They did back in the 70s! East German Women's Swim team anyone?

 

[pudly]

Question: Would the East German Women's Swim team be legal now?

More important question: What will this do to the women's beach volleyball events?

East Chicago. Biggest difference with him is that they (allegedly)* arrested him.

Says they were 3-0. That's not even that monumental. Might as well punish them for even scoring.

Granted, this happened to us in a co-ed V-ball league once, where they bumped us to the more difficult league because we preformed better then the other teams

 

[T.Lex]

I'm ok with promotion/relegation, but it doesn't look like there's a "better" league out there.
