[QUOTE="fact check, post: 602967, member: 24643"] Pretty much the expected response. One could almost believe it was a conditioned response. From the diary: [i]Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, the leading and award-winning scholar on color-blind racism has a large body of work devoted to deciphering these new racial codes.What follows are what he describes as the central ideological frames that support the new racism • ABSTRACT LIBERALISM – appeals politically to "equal opportunity" and economic individualism and "merit" (e.g. In the United States, success is primarily the result of individual merit and hard work; Regardless of race, class, gender or sexual orientation, all have equal opportunities to excel) • NATURALIZATION – explains social phenomena as natural occurrences(e.g. Racial and economic segregation in neighborhoods and schools is natural and nothing to be concerned about; If my friends are of the same race as me it is simply because I find more in common with them) • CULTURAL RACISM – reliance on cultural explanations for racial inequality (e.g. People of color could have more success if they had a better work ethic; People of color would have more success if they would try to speak standard English) • MINIMIZATION OF RACISM – argument that discrimination no longer has a major impact on the life chances of people of color (e.g. Racial discrimination is no longer a major problem; People of color need to stop "playing the race card" whenever something goes wrong for them; Racism is the result of prejudiced individuals)[/i] [/QUOTE]
