Racism is a hegemonic practice that is articulated with, not necessary to, capitalist formations

Evidence

Racism is not present, in the same form or degree, in all capitalist formations: it is not necessary to the concrete functioning of all capitalisms. It needs to be shown how and why racism has been specifically overdetermined by and articulated with certain capitalisms at different stages of their development. Nor can it be assumed that this must take one, single form or follow one necessary path or logic, through a series of necessary stages. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 635 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
