Answer:

racial formation theory

Step-by-step explanation:

The racial formation theory was developed by Howard Winant and Michael Omi. This theory is considered as a tool that looked at the race as some socially constructed identity, in which the importance of the racial categories as well as the content are determined by economic, political and social forces.

This theory shows the racial classifications made to the blacks and the whites. Different racial groups position themselves as the dominant racial group or the eliminating racial group. All this reflects the racial formation theory.
