On The Real: Reverse Racism

So I was surfing the internet the other day and an interesting term came about and really got my attention. The term that was used is "reverse racism." I have heard of this term before, but never really thought about it critically, so I sat here at desk and began to analyze the term and here is what I came up with: If the term is used to describe racism against the dominant group (which most people consider are the white people) then the term "reverse racism" is racist within itself because, well, it assumes that white people are superior to other "races." And FYI, it is impossible for visible minorities to be racist just because we, as visible minorities, do not benefit from being racist as the dominant group or white people do. When we make assumptions or make attributes about a person based on their skin colour, we are merely just prejudice and are reproducing false ideologies, which is very negative for our oppressed brothers and sisters, so we should all stop it. This is just my take on it.
