Exclusion is a distinct racialization process from exploitation and expropriation

Evidence

Race serves as invisible border line demarcating both who formally belongs or not and what can or cannot be said about it. The border line is inscribed not at the level of personal relation, of social and sexual intercourse or the excitement of avant-garde aesthetic expression, but in the crevices of political divides and formal relations of power, of institutional access and full membership in the polity, of educational standards and citizenship requirements. Nonracialism squeezing out any possibility of antiracism. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 909 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)

The mark of racist expression or belief, then, is not simply the claim of inferiority of the racially different. It is more broadly that racial difference warrants exclusion of those so characterized from elevation into the realm of protection, privilege, property, or profit. Racism, in short, is about exclusion through depreciation, intrinsic or instrumental, timeless or time-bound. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 66 (#complicates, via linked claim)

Now racial expression certainly has been invoked after the fact to rationalize and legitimate already existing economic and political differentiations. But racial thinking also has promoted racially configured exclusions, subjugation, and terror by framing the very ways in which people throughout the world, internal to Europe as well as vacated to Burope’s outside, were being ordered and seen. Thus racial discourse made available for exploitation and exclusion those considered or seen as different or inferior. — David Theo Goldberg, The Racial State, 24 (#qualifies, via linked claim)
