 This view was boosted by the Supreme Court's decision in "Regents of the University of California v. Bakke" (1978), which said that racial quotas for minority students were discriminatory toward white people.While not empirically supported, belief in reverse racism is widespread in the United States, where it has contributed to the rise of conservative social movements such as the Tea Party.Claims of reverse racism in the early 21st century tend to rely on individual anecdotes, often based on third- or fourth-hand reports, such as of a white person losing a job to a black person.
