Reverse racism; we all hear about the racism that the media wants us to hear about, but what about overt reverse racism? What happened? How did everyone handle it? Were you able to talk about it as racism without people attacking you for talking about what happened?

I don't know if this counts but I felt like it was a form of what you're talking about. I'm Egyptian. Often Americans believe a myth that 'real' ancient Egyptians were sub-Saharan black people. (It's not true; the people who currently live in Egypt share about 90% of DNA with ancient Egyptians, we are African but so are Libyans and Moroccans etc. - African does NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN BLACK!)

The amount of hatred and accusations and just general cruelty we (actual Egyptian people) get for saying we're Egyptian on any kind of social media post about Ancient Egypt from these Americans is insane. They call us fakes and frauds and thieves, claim we 'killed off' the 'real Egyptians', sold them into slavery, all sorts of mad shit.

I made a post here as sort of PSA about it a couple of the replies were along the lines of 'they've had a bad go of it, let them call you a fraud and claim your history as their own, it's only fair' by people who were NOT being affected by this at all.
