Racisms against distinct groups blend and combine without fixed borders.
Evidence
What is embedded in the senior Emanuel’s remark is the regenerative transfusion of two differently coded modes of racism: Ashkenazi Israeli racism toward Arabs (and, for that matter, Sephardic Jews) and white American racism toward blacks. In a simple act of crosscodification, the two modes of racism come together and announce not just a mere Israelification of American political culture but also the transformation of racist registers of Blacks into Arabs (or “sand niggers” as they have been popularly dubbed). — Hamid Dabashi, Brown Skin, White Masks, 568 (
