“The false biologism of white racial supremacy has been discredited, but most westerners are quite happy to abide by what seems to be a value-neutral distinction between ‘white people’ and ‘people of colour’. Consequently, we assume that any Englishman who becomes a ‘Mughal’ must be still, at his core, ‘white’, as if this is the one fundamental truth of his body that trumps its other attributes, including the unexpected changes it may have undergone in India.”
Jonathan Gil Harris, The First Firangis
