Acceptable Muslims and minorities must deny their own racialized subordination.

Evidence

Islamophobic definition is a nonpracticing Muslim or a non-Muslim. A good Black or racial minority is one who is colorblind, does not see structural racism, who understands that they have earned or failed to earn their positions through neutral applications of a merit standard, and who believes that race has nothing to do with anything now that we have dismantled slavery and Jim Crow. — Cyra Akila Choudhury, Racecraft and Identity in the Emergence…, 460

Categorization

• XREF: Connects to ch48/49 theme that the only acceptable Muslim ‘is one who practices no Islam at all’ — the assimilation demand is structurally identical for Black minorities (colorblindness). — connects to: Anti-sharia proponents define good Muslims as those who practice no Islam at all — Cyra Akila Choudhury, Racecraft and Identity in the Emergence…, 298; Acceptable minority identity requires denying the racism one faces; Courts deny Muslims race discrimination protection absent proof of self-unification. — Mareike Riedel, Islamophobia, Racial Discrimination…, 55 (+2 more)
• DEEPTHINKING: The parallel construction — good Muslim = nonpracticing/non-Muslim; good minority = colorblind/deneutral — reveals that both inclusion regimes demand self-erasure of the subordinated identity as the price of tolerance.
