The Civil Rights Act does not protect against reverse discrimination.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Civil Rights Act does not explicitly use the term "reverse discrimination," but it does prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, and other protected characteristics in employment and other contexts. This means that discrimination against members of a historically privileged group (such as white males) can be considered a violation of the Civil Rights Act if it is based on their race, color, or other protected characteristic. Therefore, the Act does provide some protection against "reverse discrimination" in certain circumstances.
