The author says that there is no such thing as reverse institutional racism because the white community is the most dominant community in society. The movement of reverse institutional racism is just an illusion, and the white community will stay at the highest position in society. The author's concept of superiority is based on the concept that the white community is the most prominent, and all other communities will be compared with the white community (Nash, 2008).
