Treating Blacks especially well is “well-meaning racism,” employing racial stereotypes (for example, of Italian or Black criminals) in the movies is “representational racism,” neutral tests like the SAT (which produce slightly disparate results across racial groups) are part of “institutional racism,” and so on. Furthermore, some claim, all of these varieties of racism are exclusively white provinces—only whites can ever be racist, due to the structure of contemporary American power relations. In a sentence, all of this is nonsensical garbage.
