Demographic privilege mapping along racial lines indicates structural racism

Evidence

These are the classic, bare social arrangements that we know generally to structure the life worlds of racial states and racist exclusion. Where differentiated demography so closely maps onto social and economic privilege and disprivilege along class-articulated racial lines, we can now safely say from a long legacy of geopolitical exemplification that there racism presumptively structures the society, in one form or another. Popular forms of reference become quite revealing. Thus, the common dismissive derogatory term for black people among Venezuelans is, well, “monkeys”! — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 1175
