We end by discussing how hegemonic psychology’s racism-evasive ignorance is not an aberration but a manifestation of modern colonial development that works congruently with the systematicity of racism.

To illustrate how a racism-conscious social psychology could look like, we offer examples from South African textbooks.

The ahistorical conceptualization of racism was related to “bothesidest” application to racialization—a problematic application of racial schemas to (critical) experiences of people from historically marginalized backgrounds.

Only 4 textbooks attempted to define ‘racism’. The definitions were some version of interpersonal prejudice or discrimination on the basis of race.

These represent what scholars have referred to as 'zero-point epistemology': where racism is seen as one application of objective, more general, universal processes, completely abstracted from the sociocultural and historical context.
