    Perhaps the term ‘reverse’ discrimination is out of date. Because discrimination is just that, there is no such thing as being reversed. It’s just in societies eyes that discrimination has to be on a person of a different race then White. Now that I’ve said that I’ll say this, there is discrimination against White people everyday but once again due to society we are almost forced to bite our lip and take it because to say so would make us seem like the racist. For example, state colleges offer scholarships to particular people of a certain race, we will use Hispanic as an example. Now the criteria for any scholarship is to prove that your better then the next person through academics, sports, etc… but now you have thrown race into the picture. So now a Hispanic person has got a scholarship even though another person might need it more and have better academic scores over that person. But this for some reason is deemed as acceptable in society. Yet if a school posted a White Scholarship, the sole criteria being that your White with good academic scores, there would be riots in the streets. Certain schools in New York and New Jersey will now even accept black students papers and homework written in what is called ‘ebonics’. This being accepted because it is considered that this is how they were raised. Yet if an asian student wrote a paper in ‘ebonics’ I’m sure it would be graded incorrectly. So in ultimately answering the orginial question, in my opinion obviously, no White people don’t think that low paying jobs are the only thing that black people deserve. But I’m sure alot of White people in those low paying jobs would like to be considered for acceleration due to their race and not their job performance.
