Reverse Discrimination.

I recently watched a video on youtube that discussed something that the poster referred to as “Reverse Discrimination.”  The vlogger went into detail about all of the perks and benefits that come from being discriminated against.  He claimed that specifically women and minorities get extra perks.  He goes along to cite certain instances where “the discriminated” have an upper hand.  One of the major points he talks about is affirmative action.  He highlighted specific instances where people did not get a job or a scholarship because they weren’t a minority.  This is what the user claimed to be reverse discrimination.  This to me seemed a little dramatic at first, but after quite a bit of thought, I considered both sides of the argument.  The opposition would say that because these “minorities” were discriminated against, that made them less than equal in the “real world.”  In the past, I could see how this would be helpful, but as time progresses, I think that practices such as this could be slowly dissolved.  Originally, it was meant to level the playing field, but now it seems that more and more, it may not be needed.  This is fantastic, if everyone is more equal, that means that discrimination is being less and less dominant.  This video actually wasn’t very well explained, and did require quite a bit of thought to actually get the point that the user was attempting to make.  Overall, it was rather thought provoking, and I tend to enjoy videos like this.
