Park exemplifies how, by World War II, liberal social scientists had revamped theories on racism and were motivated to increase interracial contact in order to reduce prejudice.

Between liberals’ developments and the Nazi’s stigmatization of the idea of white biological superiority, beginning in the 1940s, social explanations of racism started to predominate in the United States. Whereas liberal public officials and social scientists had struggled to respond to the idea of an innate white superiority, this paradigm shift led to more opportunities for them to engage in public policy. As the shift from biological theories to social theories took place without debunking the myth of whites’ cultural superiority, for many nonwhites, forced assimilation became the modern-day white supremacy.33 In other words, assimilationist programs were liberal manifestations of white supremacy and not antiracist or nonracist.
