Biological racism was replaced by a coded cultural new racism
Evidence
These approaches are grounded in the view that biological or scientific racism has declined in significance, and new forms of racialized hostility have grown to take its place. It is argued that this “old racism” has been superseded by a new racism or by the rearticulation of racism which is characterized by an assertion of the naturalness of both a desire to live amongst “one’s own people” (Us) and hostility towards a culturally or racially distinct immigrant presence (the Other) that threatens the existence of “our way of life.” — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1871
