CORPOREAL FEMINISM III: THE DISCURSIVE CONSTRUCTION OF GENDER, ETHNIC AND RACED IDENTITY<\/strong><\/p>\n

White racism is not just part of\u00a0American history. Instead, White racist culture today organizes racist practices\u00a0in White-dominated institutions such as schools and health-care facilities,\u00a0and everyday choices and behaviors by the vast majority of Whites\u00a0operating as individuals. White racist culture is shaped by a \u201cWhite racial\u00a0frame,\u201d \u201can organized set of racialized ideas, stereotypes, emotions, and\u00a0inclinations to discriminate\u201d (Feagin 2006:27), along with interpretations\u00a0that rationalize the discrimination against people of color that is indeed old\u00a0(dating back to the earliest stages of the oppression of people of African\u00a0descent by Whites in the New World), but continues as a vivid fact of life\u00a0in the contemporary United States. The impacts . . .\u00a0are of\u00a0such generality, and such a magnitude, as to suggest strongly that racism\u00a0must be practiced in some way by a very substantial number of Whites, at\u00a0every level of class and status. To render their practices invisible, and to\u00a0tolerate or to discount their effects, Whites must share negative stereotypes\u00a0of people of color, permitting them to blame these victims. How are such\u00a0stereotypes produced and reproduced among people who deny that they are\u00a0racist and who claim to abhor racism in word and deed (Bonilla-Silva 2003;\u00a0Feagin and Vera 1995)?
