“…However, when ethnicity is used in these ways this may suggest that ethnicity is regarded as something that only has an ontological status, and that signals an exotic quality, not something that is an ever-present epistemological regulator of complex configurations and inter-relations of education in racially saturated societies (Hopson 2003;Pedersen 2007;Rajander 2009;Tesfahuney 1999). Ethnicity is researched in relation to multiculturalism, religion, culture and language as a special exotic aspect of education, not a common organising feature of all education spaces and interactions and this downplays its epistemological significance.…”

“…For example, an uncritical literacy program perpetuates the importance of clarity over political purpose and denies the fact that people's tastes and dispositions toward language are socially motivated. As a case in point, language learning frequently intersects issues of race, forming what Hopson (2003) calls the "the problem of the language line." Hopson combines Bourdieu's concept of linguistic capital with Du Bois' thoughts on the "color line" and finds that language learning is never just about induction into mainstream schooling but a way to perpetuate linguistic racism, in this case through the hegemony of English (see also Macedo, Dendrinos, & Gounari, 2003).…”
