- Description
- Scientific terminology and problem definitions are not neutral. They imply a political perspective. While there is ample evidence that white racism is a structural problem in Europeanized societies, Dutch dominant sociology still lacks a conceptual understanding of racism. The view is supported that Dutch race and ethnic relations studies should include the critical perspectives of black and migrant people in support of a sociology that takes a clear stand against racism.
