European racial thought is conventionally framed as a black-antisemitism dualism

Evidence

The relational frame for thinking through race in the European context has usually been ordered in dualistic terms: anti-black racisms following from slavery and colonialism largely keeping Europe white and blacks out; and antisemitism as embroiled in the long history of exclusion, excision, and ultimately extermination. This dualism has dominated the historical conception and comprehension of Euro-racism at least since World War II, and still underpins common understandings of racial europeanization, as Macmaster among many mainstream analysts exemplifies. These are important constitutive elements of European self-making, implicating slavery, viciousness, and exploitative profiteering as well as exclusion and extermination as central conditions of Europe’s legacy. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 975
