Evidence

Moreover, racecraft is not just about discourse. As pointed out above, segregation was racecraft itself, providing evidence of the existence of race (the action is purportedly prompted by race). As such, racecraft has material dimensions. The final section describes the discrimination against Black Americans and Muslims in the context of residential property and larger property projects in predominantly white suburbs to show the commonalities. The same material racecraft that was invented as anti-Blackness has been repurposed and directed at Muslims. — Cyra Akila Choudhury, Racecraft and Identity in the Emergence…, 328
