Why is it reverse-discrimination?

Reverse-discrimination would imply, by definition of the two words, 

opposite or contrary in position to treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction infavor 

of or against, a person or thing based on the group,

class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than 

on individual merit.

That would mean you were favorable to people because of their race, meaning it's not discrimination at all its a bias.

The case the Supreme Court heard today was called reverse-discrimination. BUT! It's simply a town being to afraid of an affirmative action law suit that got hit with a law suit anyway.  Why is it ok to discriminate against whites, but not other races?

I'm a person who thinks being PC - politically correct - is for the birds.  I'm blunt and have no problem telling the truth.  I went to a high school which was above the curve when it comes to public education.  Everyone had the chance to excel if they WANTED too, not just whites.  I believe diversity is a great thing, but it shouldn't rule our lives.  If 14 whites and 1 hispanic had what it took to pass the officer test, then by God let them be officers!  

I would never use the 'N' word but I've been called a 'cracker', yet that's supposed to be ok.  I don't get offended.  I enjoy salty, thin biscuits.  If someone was arrested by a white police officer and then called the officer a cracker, nothing would be said of it.  Yet, reverse the situation.  Black officer, and the dreaded 'N' word which is used within the black community as a common term, and it's a whole new ball game.

And to make things even more politically correct for all of you PC loving idiots, I'm no longer just American.  I'm European-American.  I'm the most discriminated against.  I'm blamed for everything.  I'm a white, middle-class, intelligent, educated, well-spoken, second rate citizen.  I didn't get help other than loans for college.  I don't qualify for any free tuition programs.  How is it that those people who have college money on a silver platter have a hard time going to college?  Undergrad degrees are a dime a dozen.  It doesn't matter where you went anymore, it's where you got your Masters!  If you can go to college for free and don't go, that isn't my fault!  Take responsibility for your own actions!  Put your big girl/boy britches on and grow up.  Stop making excuses and blaming everyone else for where you are, you have the ability to make the changes to put yourself in a better place.  No one else can do it for you.

Its similar to anyone that blames lack of money/insurance/education for them having children when they aren't financially, mentally, and/or able to care for them.  There are free programs in every community where any male or female can get tested for STDs and receive free or discounted (depending on income) birth control options.  

So really this has turned into a "take responsibility for you" and double standards post .  And it's the mature and adult thing to do.  No one else is responsible for your actions - unless of course you are skitzophrenic and the voices are telling you to do or not do something.  Again, completely difference ball game.  

And this is not a racial statement.  My 23-yr-old brother likes to blame everyone else for his problems.  Not so.  Once you can take responsibility for your own actions, doors will open.  Don't be negative.  Be Optimistic.  When you think negatively, then only negative things will occur.  Think positively and positive things will happen!  And if you want to think positive and negative people bring you down, cut them out!  Main reason I don't talk to the majority of my family. 

If you think I'm not being fair, or being rude, tell me.  Let's talk this out.  Well type it out, but same thing.  I'm completely open-minded and love listening to other points of view.  But if you are close-minded, well I don't want to get yelled at by someone that only sees one side of everything and is not swayed at all.
