All social formations are racialized but not all are racist
Evidence
In all these instances the individuals do not act as individuals alone, nor are their actions interpreted as those of individuals alone - they are not the specific expressions of individual selves, but rather are shaped by definite forms of social relationships, ideologies and images. … This is what it means to say that society is racialized - that it is systematically organized around beliefs about race; that the distribution of power, resources, and images, corresponds closely with membership of racialized groups; and that members of these groups are conscious of such organization (see Goldberg, 1993; Small, 1999). Racialization includes macro and micro level aspects, collective and individual aspects, and institutional and ideological aspects. … I propose that we think of the racialization of society in terms of structures, ideologies, and images. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1827 (
