It was during this enterprise which notions of white racial superiority really developed, “white” itself originally reserved for a very specific class, and of course an ever-changing definition. It was through this process of racism which our current notion of race developed, with all it’s contradictions and absurdities, to explain and justify the disparities this system inflicted and provide categories of ascriptive difference.
