isn't reverse racism when you're inclusive of everyone
You'd think so, but according to a disconcertingly large number of people, being inclusive of everyone requires white people to be excluded.
It's called a persecution complex. It's what you get when you've assumed you're the center of the fucking world, and then when people point out that you're not you assume that they just hate you specifically instead of assuming they're just trying to exist in a system that has been rigged against them for centuries. \(O_o)/
(And yes, some of them are pretty fucking angry because the system has been rigged against them for centuries. Man, it's almost like that kind of thing could make someone, I don't know, upset?)
I'd think ideally to be "inclusive of everyone" race should just be dropped and people should be judged based on their qualifications. I'm using the fields of employment or college acceptance as an example of a system that's inclusive or un-inclusive of groups, since that's the example that comes to my mind the fastest.
So the idea is that a group was unfairly treated in the past? So to make up for that, in current times, you treat them better than other groups because of their unfair treatment in the past, which was due to a certain quality of that group. Say, blue people were treated badly because they were blue, so let's give them preference and special treatment compared to non-blue people now because blue people were treated badly in the past due to blue-ness. That doesn't seem any different than treating other groups unfairly in comparison to the treatment blue group now gets.
You're treating one group better than other groups. That's an unfair system. Even if it's being done because the system was unfair for that group in the past, now the system is unfair for ANOTHER group who doesn't have the same treatment that the first group now gets. So the system has shifted its "unfairness" from one group to other groups without really removing the issue of an unfair system. The response "life is unfair" doesn't really apply here since the unfairness is not the result of the whims of physics and nature but is being done deliberately by intelligent minds. So, discrimination or bias. (Not suggesting anyone would respond with "life is unfair" just addressing a point that came to my mind)
(Note that I'm using "you" in the metaphorical sense and not addressing anyone specifically)
"The desire to exclude others for your own physical and emotional satisfaction is inherent to humanity."
Yeah, I'm of the opinion that people are going to find reasons to be inclusive or noninclusive of other people no matter what. Trying to ensure racism (or sexism or whatever new terms there are for some kind of discriminatory bias) doesn't happen through acts like AA or quotas only aggravates the issue and encourages division by giving preferential treatment to some groups while leaving others out.
