The Dangerous Logic of Anti-Racism

Tomiwa Owolade at Unherd considers the dangerous shortcomings of today’s anti-racists’ obsession with structural racism which, he argues, leaves other forms of racism unexamined:
[Andrew] Murray was expressing that Jews don’t count in an understanding of racism that emphasises structural oppression. This is an instance of one account of racism monopolising the other ways it manifests itself. This isn’t simply wrongheaded. In the case of anti-Semitism, it is especially dangerous. As the German social democrat August Babel said, anti-Semitism is the “socialism of the fools”. Jews supposedly possess power and privilege; so to call them out thus makes one a foe of structural inequalities.
