All ideologies are racialized by their differential consequences, not just their content

Evidence

There are different types of racialized ideologies, including those with explicit racialized content, and those with coded racialized content (that is, reference to racialized groups is implied). But all ideologies are racialized, even where there is no explicit or obvious mention of race, because all ideologies have differential consequences for populations labeled “black,” “Asian,” “Latino,” and “white.” — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1833

Categorization

  • DEFINE: Defines coded racialized content and argues that even race-neutral ideology counts as racialized through differential consequences.
  • DEEPTHINKING: A genuinely paradigm-shifting definition: racism is redefined as a consequence-based property held by ALL ideology, not a content property held by some statements.
