“reverse racism”

Lol, there’s no such thing! Positive discrimination based on race is still racism and should always be called that.

I am just amazed at the amount of reverse racism that now goes on. We have ab-study, ab-rent, ab-house, so on and on. No wonder everyone says we are the most racist country in the world.

I wonder in some of my more whimsical moments if Rudd really wants this:

Saudi Arabia is trying to enlist other oil-producing countries to support a provocative idea: if wealthy countries reduce their oil consumption to combat global warming, they should pay compensation to oil producers. The oil-rich kingdom has pushed this position for years in earlier climate-treaty negotiations. While it has not succeeded, its efforts have sometimes delayed or disrupted discussions. The kingdom is once again gearing up to take a hard line on the issue at international negotiations scheduled for Copenhagen in December. The chief Saudi negotiator, Mohammad al-Sabban, described the position as a “make or break” provision for the Saudis, as nations stake out their stance before the global climate summit scheduled for the end of the year.
