That said here's a funny but at the same time very true video to avoid leaving on an entirely dark note:
I can't really watch the video right now, but what exactly do you define as "reverse racism"?
Basically a lot of people (especially white, non-marginalized) think that racism is (exclusively) about hurting someones feelings or discriminate with words, which is so, so far from what racism actually is about and they honestly think "reverse racism" is when a black person (or non-white in general) call them white trash or other words like it, that's not reverse racism, that's being a dick.
Again, I could go into a long debate about racism but it's probably easier to just look the definition up, basically white people were never a victim of social structure that puts marginalized people in the back seat, always. They never were systematically discriminated for their skin color and it was never a socialy accepted notion that white people were inferior to other races*. It's such a huuuge thing that it's just not possible to keep it all in just a few paragraphs.
* and there's also a huge debate in the academic world whether there are races or not, but for the sake of simplicity, I used the word race here.

As if that is inherently a bad thing. There are cases where double standards is required after putting things in perspective, and racism is one of those cases, there is no way to meaningfully compare racism against colored people and "reverse racism". By holding them both to the same standard is to simplify the problem and to almost altogether diminish the weight behind racism against colored people.
