Reverse discrimination

Japanese: 逆差別 - ぎゃくさべつ(英語表記)reverse discrimination
Reverse discrimination
Affirmative action, which was introduced in the United States to correct discrimination, results in some qualified members of the majority being disadvantaged. For example, as a result of preferentially admitting women to a university, men who scored higher than women on the entrance exam may be rejected because they are not within the university's quota. Since 1978, the Supreme Court has ruled that such reverse discrimination is illegal.

アメリカで差別是正のために導入されたアファーマティブ・アクションの結果として,多数派に属する有資格者の一部が不利益を受けてしまうこと。たとえば,女性を優先的に大学へ入学させた結果,入学試験でその女性よりも高得点であった男性が大学の定員枠からはずれて不合格になってしまう場合がある。連邦最高裁判所は 1978年以来,こうした逆差別を違法とする判決をくだしている。
