Evidence

The policy introduced by Disraeli signified the establishment of an exclusive caste in a foreign country whose only function was rule and not colonization. For the realization of this conception which Disraeli did not live to see accomplished, racism would indeed be an indispensable tool. — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 481

Categorization

• DEFINE: Core toolkit concept: racial ideology functions as the enabling mechanism for a governing caste that rules rather than settles.
• XREF: Lines up with colonial-administration critiques later used in Islamophobia scholarship: racism legitimizes perpetual outsider-rule over a subject population.
