Color-Blind Racism and the Persistence of Racial Inequality in America

Eduardo Bonilla-Silva   

Übersicht

Bonilla-Silva, although he brings up good points (the fact that color-blind racism is the dominant ideology) his arguments are one sided. For example: he believes that blacks who claim that they didn't get a job because of their color are justified and valid. However, when whites claim that they didn't get a job because of a minority (as a result of affirmative action), that whites use this storyline so that they never have to believe that they weren't qualified for a job or promotion. Also, Bonilla-Silva states that if a white person were more qualified than a minority and still lost the job over a minority, he suggests that perhaps the white applicant didn't interview well, but doesn't make the same excuses for the black applicant. Basically he's saying that if a black person doesn't get a job then it's because of discrimination no matter what. Bonilla-Silva is completely one-sided.
He completely rebukes reverse discrimination. His studies which are supposed to prove his theories are also weak. He interviewed many whites about their views on blacks but he only interviewed a handful of blacks about their views on whites. I would have felt better about the book if he admitted to being as racist as he claims that whites are.
