European Universalism: Exceptionalism and Racism in Plutonomy

Abstract

European universalism and white racism condition the perspectives of the globalized world in the twenty-first century. We are now conditioned to view the entire world through a Eurocentric prism, which is the preamble to all our understandings. And even when we reject racism, we implicitly accept the racial segregation as a scientific truth that can be substantiated with the nineteenth century work the Origins of Species by Charles Darwin. Now in the twenty first century the race of Plutonomy is being formed in line with the British Eugenic society that configured the British race as a part of British nationhood, or the Third Reich as the foundation of National socialism of the Germans. The new race, Plutonomy of today has the coercing power of European universalism, exceptionalism, and the metanarrative of white racism. And it is now becoming transnational and colorblind.
