CRITICAL COMMENTARY
A Theory of Racialized Organizations
The author argues that racialized organizations play a significant role in defining racial meaning and change in the racial order. The author tries to disclose a clear picture of the filthiness experienced in most organizations. However, his perspective on racism mainly focuses on whites as a dominant racial group. Moreover, the author expresses disgust to the ideology against neutral processes promoted by organizational theorists (Ray). By victimizing the white population, the author tries to gain the reader's empathy and campaign against the political systems enabling white dominance.
The author develops convincing literature by citing several sources to validate his arguments. Ray addresses the unequal distribution of resources as evidence for racial discrimination in organizations. Furthermore, it is within the author's interest to rebuke racial discrimination and stratification by white people in workplaces. The author also incorporates charts to eliminate doubt by explaining the relationship between schemas, racial structures, and racial ideology. Through these illustrations, the reader can be convinced of the viability of the information provided.
The article title introduces a new perspective of racial discrimination, which I found interesting. I choose the article since the title was conspicuous because it was challenging to presume its content. The subject addressed in the article is a sensitive one depending on the author's racial or ethnic group. In most cases, such subjects are handled with the influence of emotions rather than factual arguments.
