Dec 14, 2016 at 8:18 comment added user32638 "Reverse racism" is when people who are commonly discriminated because of their race begin to discriminate those who are not of their race. "Reverse ableism" would therefore be when people who are discriminated because of their disability begin to discriminate people without that disability. It wouldn't designate discrimination by average people against above-average abilities.

Dec 13, 2016 at 15:38 comment added Lauren Ipsum Just to clarify: are you talking about discriminating against people who have extraordinary abilities, or celebrating them?
Dec 13, 2016 at 15:17 comment added Tom I see. What about disableism? I guess that sounds bad, but enhanced people could say that normal people are disabled by comparison and they're being favored by the law.
Dec 13, 2016 at 15:14 comment added Philipp Ableism means "discrimination based on ability". So technically it could be used to both describe discrimination of people with limited abilities as well as discrimination of people with extraordinary abilities. But practically I wouldn't consider it appropriate to use the same term, because disabled and superpowered people are completely different minorities who get discriminated for completely different reasons.
