The connection between class and race is important and useful, though it does not give a satisfactory explanation for all forms of racism. Therefore, the economic factor cannot explain some types of racism in all forms.
EXPLANATION:
In the battlefield of local disciplinary formed by the analysis of sociological racism and ethnicity, the number of victims is very high: a superficial internet search discloses the degree to which Marxist analyses of racism tumbled into desuetude, a striking difference from the situation twenty years ago. I would suggest that there are three main reasons for the decline in interest in Western universities in the past decade or so in the Marxist explanations of ethnicity and racism.
First, Marxist theories have seldom challenged the nature of race itself and, insofar as they failed to do it, they have replicated many deficiencies related to their use in orthodox social science. Marxists have hugely failed to classify Marxian unique views on racial and ethnic phenomena.
This is ironic considering the second reason, specifically the progress of postmodernism. While it can be recognized that the term postmodernism includes a variety of sympathies, in social science the most extensive impact has been seen in the emergence of relativism species and the resultant 'loss of courage', to use Goldthorpe's expression, in epistemic entitlements of social research.
Marxism, with its focus for social revolution and its pledge to materialist theory, scientific, has thus discovered itself progressively integrated with the academic social sciences, which in turn usually regard Marxism as anachronistic or discredited.
