View original postOne of the reasons right-wingers' hysteria about "reverse racism" is so risible.
They don't like it because it's still racism and racism is wrong.

Yeah, me too. And one of the very few things I agree with them on is their reaction to the excrement you posted above. Once someone says it's okay to treat my or any other ethnic group worse than another ethnic group, for whatever crappy justification, is when I tell them to shove their opinion up their asshole.
Maybe it is time to start treating muslims a little differently?
