Comedian Aamer Rahman Nails Why 'Reverse Racism' Doesn't Work (VIDEO)
Youtube link:
You might have heard that irksome term "reverse racism" -- the idea that racism can be directed at majority groups by people in minorities.
The concept seems inherently problematic, but sometimes it's hard to put your finger on exactly why.
Well, Australian-based standup comedian, Aamer Rahman, can explain exactly why.
In just a few minutes he covers issues like colonization, imperialism, slavery, inequality, privilege, war, cultural superiority and internalized racism.
