Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The author is describing inferential racism, which is the acceptance and perpetuation of racist viewpoints and assumptions without necessarily intending to be racist. The apparently naturalized representations mentioned have racist premises and propositions inscribed in them as a set of unquestioned assumptions, which is characteristic of inferential racism. The other choices, intentional racism, ideological based morality, and underrepresentation of low-income members of society, are not directly relevant to this particular aspect of the author's argument.
