Reverse discrimination is a form of racial discrimination. Racial discrimination is a form of racism.
Racism is wrong.
Therefore, reverse discrimination is wrong. This argument commits the fallacy of equivocation . That is, the argument trades on an equivocation in the meaning of the term 'racism'. In order to avoid committing this fallacy, Singer suggests that we use the term 'racial discrimination' in a morally neutral, descriptive sense to refer to discrimination based on race. Singer can, then, reserve the term 'racist' to refer exclusively to practices that are morally wrong, which is the way the term is almost always used.
