Website: https://www.saic.edu/profiles/faculty/raja-el-halwani Summary:In this interview, we discuss the concept of sexual racism. Halwani argues that what matters is not necessarily how people got their racial preferences but rather what their current attitude toward their preferences is. If they want to get rid of their racial preferences, then they're not racist. If, however, they endorse them, then they are racist.
