Racist power relations recodify so capital can dominate new groups

Evidence

My principal argument in this book is that in present-day North America and Western Europe—and by extension the world they seek to dominate—brown has become the new black and Muslims the new Jews. This is because a recodification of racist power relations is the modus operandi of an ever-changing condition of domination in which capital continually creates its own elusive cultures. — Hamid Dabashi, Brown Skin, White Masks, 57 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
