Racist ideas divide into segregationist and assimilationist varieties, opposed by antiracism

Evidence

For nearly six centuries, antiracist ideas have been pitted against two kinds of racist ideas: segregationist and assimilationist. The history of racist ideas that follows is the history of these three distinct voices—segregationists, assimilationists, and antiracists—and how they each have rationalized racial disparities, arguing why Whites have remained on the living and winning end, while Blacks remained on the losing and dying end. — Ibram X. Kendi, Stamped from the Beginning, 13
