Why do institutions prioritize race? An analysis of neoracism.

This article provides a profound analysis of the phenomenon of neo-racism, which, under the banner of inclusiveness, introduces racial divisions into bureaucratic and scientific procedures. Drawing on Coleman Hughes's diagnosis, the author points to the dangers of abandoning universalism and the ethic of "colorblindness" in favor of a policy of "equity." The text demonstrates how, by prioritizing historically marginalized groups, public administration reifies race and undermines trust in the impartiality of the law. Instead of viewing citizens as individuals, these systems reduce people to arbitrarily assigned categories. This is a warning against dehumanization and the erosion of scientific rigor in the face of growing ideological pressure, which transforms lively debate into an automatic mechanism for identity management.
