This chapter does not address languages of observation. It deals with recalcitrant linguistic traditions, gender-inclusive language, Sinti and Roma, “Moors,” and Native Americans. Exclusionary practices, canceling—which is not a US-American “export product”—and discourse controls within academia also play a role. Finally, representatives of Postcolonial Studies, Critical Race Studies, and Whiteness Studies have their say, who, incidentally, regard Immanuel Kant as a theoretical pioneer of imperial conquest, colonialism, and racism. Certainly, coming to terms with the colonial crimes of the “West” is urgently necessary, the intellectual pioneers must be named, and both old and new forms of racism must be fought. However, the history of anti-Jewish hostility begins earlier than that of colonial crimes. And the Holocaust was more than a horrific excess of colonialism, as critics of colonialism claim.

摘要

This chapter does not address languages of observation. It deals with recalcitrant linguistic traditions, gender-inclusive language, Sinti and Roma, “Moors,” and Native Americans. Exclusionary practices, canceling—which is not a US-American “export product”—and discourse controls within academia also play a role. Finally, representatives of Postcolonial Studies, Critical Race Studies, and Whiteness Studies have their say, who, incidentally, regard Immanuel Kant as a theoretical pioneer of imperial conquest, colonialism, and racism. Certainly, coming to terms with the colonial crimes of the “West” is urgently necessary, the intellectual pioneers must be named, and both old and new forms of racism must be fought. However, the history of anti-Jewish hostility begins earlier than that of colonial crimes. And the Holocaust was more than a horrific excess of colonialism, as critics of colonialism claim.
