Criticism of the term itself The term reverse discrimination has been criticized by advocates of Affirmative Action as casting such policies in a negative light, without due consideration of their aims.

The term is sometimes considered rhetorical, attempting to create a non-existent distinction within the broad problem of discrimination. The group in power can't discriminate against itself.[8] Some say the term, by implying reversability, suggests that there is a proper direction of discrimination. It is countered that this is simply a misunderstanding of the semantics of the phrase and that "reverse" is referring to a reversal of the historical direction of racism, not a deviation from the "proper" direction. Opponents of Affirmative Action and "Employment Equity", through the use of the term reverse discrimination, aim to draw attention to the victims of those policies and to the fact the policies' aims cannot be considered independently of their means.
