| Popis: | Throughout the post–civil rights era, colleges and universities across the United States have periodically experienced explicitly racist incidents on their campuses. From the hurling of racial slurs at student of color, to the hanging of nooses on campus, to students donning Ku Klux Klan outfits or throwing “ghetto parties” that caricaturize communities of color, these incidents challenge the notion that modern racism has changed to a more subtle form, referred to as “color-blind racism.” We place these incidents within a broader context of race and institutions, suggesting a connection between overt racist expressions and the more covert elements of neoliberal color-blind racism. Through a critical discourse analysis of the news stories about these incidents, the website of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, and the controlling legal cases involving racist expression on campuses, we suggest that explicitly racist incidents operate in tandem with neoliberal educational policies and color-blind racism to mark and reinscribe colleges and universities as white institutional spaces.
