According to Bonilla-Silva (2010), both "abstract liberalism" and "minimization of racism" are components of colorblind racism. Abstract liberalism refers to the use of liberal ideas such as equal opportunity, individualism, and choice to justify racial inequality or deny the existence of racial privilege. Minimization of racism refers to the belief that racism is no longer a significant factor in society and that racial disparities are due to individual effort or cultural differences. Both of these components serve to maintain racial hierarchy and perpetuate the idea of colorblindness.
