To reiterate, however, racism is not about race or racial difference. Racism is a complex matrix of power that is designed to protect and promulgate White supremacy. It is not meted out symmetrically to all racial-ethnic groups. Rather, it operates according to differing logics—commodification, extermination, demonization, and indoctrination—based on the particular challenge that each racial-ethnic group poses to the interests of White supremacy.
