“Only White People can be Racist”:
What does Power have to with Prejudice?
{{Under construction}}
Abstract
Social researchers and activists who use the ‘Racism = Prejudice + Power’ definition, often cited in the
sociological literature, generally strive for racial equality by highlighting the need to equalise differences in
social power among racial groups. However, this definition can be taken to extreme when the role of social
power is given disproportionate weight over the role of prejudice, such as assertions that racism is synonymous
with White supremacy. While recent debates in the sociological literature do take into account the complex
relationship between power and prejudice, it is still important to point out the pitfalls of a reductionist approach.
We argue that the definition ‘Racism = White supremacy’ is logically flawed, demonstrates reverse racism, is
disempowering for individuals from all racial groups who strive for racial equality, and absolves those who do
not. We also argue that the recent literature on cultural competency may provide a more enabling discourse
towards reducing racism. Cultural competency is a move away from ethnocentrism and towards respect and
value for cultural difference, with no racial group treated as a reference point around which the discourse on race
relations revolves. We have focused on cultural competency in the delivery of human services in this paper,
simply as an exemplar for refining the way the term ‘racism’ is used and understood in the current sociological
literature. Specifically, by properly acknowledging the role of prejudice and not exclusively focusing on power,
and by de-centring the discourse on race relations from whites, all racial groups can be better empowered to take
responsibility for protecting the human right to racial equality.
