I
believe that this is not true. Affirmative action is often misunderstood or misinterpreted
as 'reverse racism', due to the fact that it gives a chance to minorities and
many more people, who are oppressed, to get opportunities than people, who
aren’t oppressed, would be able to get. Affirmative action is just making
everyone equal; by raising privileges that people doesn’t have, and sometimes
oppressing it for people who has those privileges already. Although it doesn’t create reverse
racism, it doesn’t hide the fact that this country was extremely discriminatory;
they’re just trying to cover that fact up and also, forgetting about what this
country has done in the past. Not to mention, we are still racist today,
however, it isn’t as severe as it was back then. One may still have different stereotypes
about another person based on gender, race, religion, or sexuality. But
affirmative action does not create reverse racism.
