Racial formation

Racial formation is a theory by Michael Omi and Howard Winant which posits that the concept of race is socially constructed along two interrelated dimensions of institutional structures and practices of signification. The meaning of race, in its institutional and symbolic dimensions, is the result of competing 'racial projects' conceived of in Gramscian terms of hegemony. Especially in the post civil rights era in America, racial struggles are seen to take on the form of Gramscian 'wars of position.'

The primary challengers of this theory, in the authors' own estimations, are 'reductionist' accounts of race: these theories reduce race to epiphenomenal status, meaning that race is determined by supposedly more real phenomena such as class, nation, ethnicity, etc. (As an example of reductionism, think about the debates over the relative merits of class-based v. race-based affirmation action: proponents of the former system argue that class refers to more 'real differences' in US society than race does.)

Different breeds of human beings are called races... broadly there are races based on the color of skin, bone formation and hair. There is white race of European origin, black race of African origin, brown race of Indian subcontinent, yellow race mainly Chinese...etc
The subjects connected to these races are expressed with the word 'racial'...
Recently in a British Celebrity TV Show a woman contestant of white race hurled derogatory remarks on another woman contestant of brown race... this is racial discrimination...
Treating one race superior to the other was called apartheid in South Africa… that was later removed from their constitution...
