Asian-Whites: Deracialization

The racial logics that Asian-Whites adopt are a part of a particular racialization process: deracialization. Herbert Gans, noted inequality theorist, briefly touches upon the concept when he introduces it in his article, “‘Whitening’ and the Changing American Racial Hierarchy.” Gans (2012: 271) defines deracialization as:

A process which begins when one group ceases to stigmatize the phenotypical distinctiveness of another, continues when that group no longer views the other as a race, progresses as the group, which does not think of itself as a race, ceases to pay attention to the other’s phenotypical differences, and culminates when the first group eventually stops noticing these differences altogether. At some point, the fact that people once distinguished themselves from others by selected phenotypical differences could become a historical curiosity.
