At least it's being carried by a major news outlet, probably cause it happened in NYC. I don't like the term reverse discrimination and reverse racism.

Why don't you like the truth being told?

usually people always think that you have to be a human being that has the color of their skin in other than white to be discriminated upon.

Because it implies that the victim of said discrimination somehow deserved it. It's a subtle way to say now the tables are turned and you are getting what you deserve. I don't like it, discrimination to me is discrimination.

I didn't realize this story is a month old and has already been discussed.
