The Social Construction of Reverse Discrimination: The Impact of Affirmative Action on Whites.
Pincus, Fred L.
Journal of Intergroup Relations, v28 n4 p33-44 Win 2001-2002
Reviews hidden assumptions within the concept of reverse discrimination (e.g., racial and gender discrimination is a thing of the past), reviewing what is known about how affirmative action affects Whites. To the extent that affirmative action negatively impacts Whites, the article suggests substituting the more neutral term of "reduced opportunity" for the more pejorative concept of reverse discrimination.
