Considering that a significant portion of our work this semester will focus on race and class and the intersection of the two, discuss the following quote by David Gillborn,

“. . . many White Academics want to emphasize a class-based analysis: they see class in a way that they don’t really see racism. Also, a class-based analysis is much more comfortable for White academics because they can assert some sort of direct link to the struggle—a struggle they don’t have in terms of race” (qtd. in Orelus 21).
