Comment on Supreme Court unanimously judged that reverse discrimination does not require extra proof

The problem with “reverse racism” is that it gets tossed around too casually. Might even be the case here. Gay person promoted a gay person? Apparently it must be reverse racism. Couldn’t just be that the gay person is better for the job, or was more friendly with the boss. Nope, it’s clearly because that person is gay.
Presumably, we’ll see the facts once the case starts.

Umm. gay people are not a race. That would be discrimination based on sexual orientation. I suspect this woman has at least some validity in her claim. Maybe not enough to win but that is what they will determine.

You’re right, but I’m using the same terms as the article. Racism has become somewhat of a catch all term for many types of descrimination.

Common mistake. People often say racism for any discrimination but racism is about race which is an outdated term.
