Privatized wellbeing produces a stark racialized divide in every basic life condition

Evidence

The Universal Context of Racism Model assumes a cultural pattern of adaptation that takes into account the challenges of discrimination and the need to establish internalized standards of human worth. TRIOS is proposed as a worldview that directs both self-protective and self-enhancing mechanisms. … A self-report rating scale was developed to assess the degree to which one endorses the dimensions of TRIOS ( Jones, 2003). Early evidence shows that Blacks endorse the dimensions more than other race/ethnic groups, with Hispanics slightly less, and Whites and Asians similar to each other and lower still. TRIOS level has been related to prosocial values, ego-resiliency, and lower levels of self-reported stress. … TRIOS level is shown to moderate the relationship between stress and well-being so that when stress level is high, the decline in well-being is less for those high than those low in TRIOS. In some cases (e.g., with Improvisation), well-being remains positive even at high levels of selfreported stress. — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 1092 (#complicates, via linked claim)

The bourgeoisie that led the development of capitalism were drawn from particular ethnic and cultural groups; the European proletariats and the mercenaries of the leading states from others; its peasants from still other cultures; and its slaves from entirely different worlds. The tendency of European civilization through capitalism was thus not to homogenize but to differentiate—to exaggerate regional, subcultural, and dialectical differences into “racial” ones. As the Slavs became the natural slaves, the racially inferior stock for domination and exploitation during the early Middle Ages, as the Tartars came to occupy a similar position in the Italian cities of the late Middle Ages, so at the systemic interlocking of capitalism in the sixteenth century, the peoples of the Third World began to fill this expanding category of a civilization reproduced by capitalism. — Cedric J.
