Flimsy group affiliation conjures presumptive filiation and presumed familiarity

Evidence

If intuition is nothing more than educated and habituated guess predicated on a degree of familiarity, I can claim to know you intuitively on the basis of presupposing peculiarly to be like you. Affiliation, however flimsy its social basis or status, conjures in such cases presumptive filiation. Race and nation, racism and nationalism run together in just these bonded ways. Familiality, no matter how abstract and imagined, is supposed, it seems, to conjure familiarity. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 70
