Racial quotas in Universities. When a minority religion can have another religions beliefs banned in public then they have more rights.
Our societies in the 'west' are the opposite of what people are claiming we are. We no longer have active discrimination of minorities, instead, if you are not a minority you
do not have as many rights, we now live in a world of reverse discrimination, you are discriminated against because it's perceived that you are more capable because you
are part of the main ethnic group in the country you live in.
In Australia, the Aboriginals received government income support (Study benefits) that is more than everyone else, just because they call themselves Aboriginal.
Other Australian : $402.7 p/f Aboriginal: $486.70. if another Australian studies for a Masters Degree, they receive no income support, if an Aboriginal does, they get $907 p/f($23,582p/a)

That's reverse discrimination, nobody should receive more than another just because they belong to a different group of people.
By giving minority groups more for being different, you are stating they cannot be equal without extra support, now that's racist.
Simple fix, remove all advantages given to certain groups for being different. If they are equal, then they won't need the extra help.
Its assumed you have an advantage being part of a colonial ethnic group because the colonial ethnic groups were the ones stealing resources and land from the natives. Lets be honest here, if white Australians had to pay for all the land to the aboriginals, most aboriginals would be millionaires today, there are less than 2 million australians. If white aussies had to pay for all that land at fair market price aboriginals would be rolling in money.

Now naturally your response will be I DIDN'T STEAL ANYTHING, I WASN'T ALIVE DURING COLONIALISM WHY AM I BEING PUNISHED? Well how many white australians would be willing to give back all the benefits from colonialism they got? You ready to give back that 1000 acre farm your daddy gave you worth millions to aboriginals? You ready to give back all the land to the natives? I doubt it. The odds of an aboriginal just getting to a master degree is very low after all the discrimination and this is true for most the ethnic minorities in the colonized states.

Reverse discrimination would be let the aboriginals do everything the whites did to the aboriginals, for the last 400 years including the ethnic cleansing and taking white children from white parents to get the "Savage out the man" and retraining them to prevent them from speaking or knowing any white culture or language. None of us could really imagine that and for good reason

If you remove all the advantages for being certain groups, you going to anger alot of white people who benefitted from colonialism. Between the homestead act in America and the settlement of various nations in the new world, basically all whites who have been in these nations for 4-5 generations would end up landless if you
stripped away all their benefits and hand me downs.
