Unit 3 – Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Topic 3.13
What differentiates Reverse Discrimination from Discrimination in context of affirmative action policies?
Reverse discrimination only applies to private sectors while Discrimination pertains solely government entities.
Reverse discrimination claims allege preferential treatment towards traditionally marginalized groups thereby disadvantaging others, while discrimination refers to biased treatment against those marginalized groups.
Both reverse discrimination and discrimination advocate for reducing diversity in workplaces or educational institutions.
Only reverse discrimination is addressed by affirmative action policies, not regular forms of discrimination.
