Definition of Reverse Discrimination: "Reverse" discrimination is, of course,
something of an oxymoron. There really is only one type of discrimination.
However, the popular definition of "reverse discrimination" describes the
situation where a non-minority (eg., a white male) has been denied a job, promotion, or
business opportunity specifically because he or she is NOT on the government's official
list of "historically disadvantaged racial and ethnic groups". Conversely,
"reverse discrimination" also describes the situation where certain
government-specified racial or ethnic groups are specifically and deliberately given
preferential treatment in hiring, promotions or contracting.
For example, consider the case of Mr. Joseph Ray Terry, a dedicated and highly qualified
EEOC lawyer who happens to be "white" and male. Mr. Terry had to spend 10
years suing his employer (EEOC) for a well-deserved promotion because less qualified
minorities were constantly being promoted ahead of him. See also Case 3: Jos. Ray Terry.
