Class does not neutralize race’s master status in social ordering

Evidence

This begins to explain how ethnic and racial difference can be constructed as a set of economic, political, or ideological antagonisms within a class which is subject to roughly similar forms of exploitation with respect to ownership of and expropriation from the “means of production.” The latter, which has come to provide something of a magical talisman, differentiating the Marxist definition of class from more pluralistic stratification models and definitions, has by now long outlived its theoretical utility when it comes to explaining the actual and concrete historical dynamic within and between different sectors and segments within classes. — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 138 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
