The expressions anti-white racism, albophobia (aka leukophobia), and inverse racism (this expression has been introduced in the 1970s by the singer Areski) are used to talk about racism against whites, sometimes because of their physical appearance, or because of collective responsibility in crimes, colonialism, and racism against coloured people. See also Occidentalism.
In the sense where the concept of racism means in general discrimination on the basis of one belonging to a group, an ethnic group, a supposed race, a culture or a religion without distinction of which group this is, the notion of «anti-white racism» or «inversed racism» appears to artificially distinguish the racism of which whites suffer of the general concept of racism. This type of racism is connected with original elements, such as rejecting whites due to their supposed advantages or as a response to whites' supposed racism. The term «inverse racism» is often used.
