- Title
WHITE VIGILANTISM AND THE RACISM OF RACE-NEUTRALITY.
- Authors
SUNDQUIST, CHRISTIAN POWELL
- Abstract
Race-neutrality has long been touted in American law as central to promoting racial equality while guarding against race-based discrimination. And yet the legal doctrine of race-neutrality has perversely operated to shield claims of racial discrimination from judicial review while protecting discriminators from liability and punishment. This Article critiques the doctrine of race-neutrality by examining the law’s response to white vigilantism in the much-publicized criminal trials of Kyle Rittenhouse and that of Ahmaud Arbery’s assailants.
