Dancer pushed back against discrimination charge (7)
I believe the answer is:
nureyev
'dancer' is the definition.
(Rudolf Nureyev)
'pushed back against discrimination charge' is the wordplay.
'pushed back' is a reversal indicator.
'against' becomes 'v' (versus).
'discrimination' becomes 'eye' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'charge' becomes 'run'.
'v'+'eye'+'run'='veyerun'
'veyerun' in reverse letter order is 'NUREYEV'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nureyev that I've seen before include "Rudolf -, Russian ballet dancer" , "Russian-born ballet dancer, who partnered Fonteyn, d. 1993" , "Austrian ballet dancer, 1938-93" , "Acclaimed Russian ballet dancer" , "Rudolf -, Russ. dancer" .)
