As to ‘Reverse-Racism’
“Reverse-Racism” is wholly fiction, a rhetorical scheme devised to cover the bums of racists.
Smart and decent people understand that “reverse-racism” is not racism at all, for it does not include the assumption of racial superiority and it lacks the systemic, institutional power, privilege, effect, and longevity that defines racism.
More, it’s convenient animus, a self-serving dodge revealing nothing more meaningful than unfounded fear.

If “Reverse-Racism” is wholly fiction please explain how Jesse Lee Peterson, a Black man, can say about Andrew Yang:
““There’s this little Asian guy or Chinese guy, whatever he is, he should go back to China, or wherever he came from, Andrew Yang. See? You allow these people to come into our country and they come in with this socialist, communist ideas. Can we send this guy back to wherever he came from? Let him go over there and give away free stuff. Why is he coming here to turn America into the place that he left? What a sick person… They need to send him back to Taiwan or wherever he came from.”

Are you saying that is NOT racist???

Racism cannot exist (tho other forms of bigotry certainly can) absent the assumption of racial superiority and it lacks the systemic, institutional power, privilege, effect, and longevity that defines it.

While racism may be a the product of ignorance, stupidity mixed with fear.
Ignorance and stupidity are not racism.
The remarks may be colorable as ‘racist’, but at the end of the day, Peterson is just an ignorant and stupid radio talk show host who hasn’t got a clue, and doesn’t know what he’s talking about at all…

Ignorance and stupidity are not confined to race or gender. All sorts of people display it.

Let’s say that that is a “racist” statement, as you have indicated. If so, why are you calling it “reverse racism”? Is it reverse racism, or is it racism?
Excuse me while I go get a reverse cup of coffee. Or,…coffee. I get it confused.

People who argue ‘reverse racism’, refuse to acknowledge racism ab initio..in the first instance…

Of course.
