| - | '''State racism''' is a [[concept]] used by [[France|French]] [[philosopher]] [[Michel Foucault]] to designate the reappropriation of the historical and political [[discourse]] of "race struggle", in the late [[1600s|seventeenth century]]. It also refers to a type of [[institutional racism]] promoted by a [[government]]. Examples include [[Apartheid]] in [[South Africa]], and [[racial segregation]] in the [[United States]], as well as any systemic or community-based racism in [[local police|local]], [[state police|state]] or [[federal police|federal]] law enforcement (see also [[racial profiling]]). Another example would be the pro-[[Bumiputra]] (literally 'sons of the soil/earth', a term to describe ethnic [[Malays]]) policies of the Malaysian government designed to benefit the majority ethnic [[Malays]] some would say at the expense of members of the other ethnic communities (e.g. Chinese, Indian and others) in [[Malaysia]]. | + | |
