The narrow street of Lestampes stood full of sheep, from wall to wall—black sheep and white, bleating with one accord like the birds in spring, and each one accompanying himself upon the sheep-bell round his neck. It made a pathetic concert, all in treble.
It got him, all of it—the ancient mountain slopes worn as if by the struggles of Jacob and the angel, the spires, the dry glistening of the atmosphere, the hermit places in green hideaways, the sheep-bells' clunk, the cistern water dropping, while beams came as straight as harp wires from the sun.

examples: While these mainly focused on the relationship with Jews and Jewish conversos, other historians envisioned Iberian contribution to racism as the elaboration and distillation of Muslim proto-racism that gradually distinguished Africans from >whites< and that, even before the beginning of the Atlantic slave-trade, attributed different characteristics to the members of each cluster.
Postmodernity, in Latin America in the I980s, had to do with modernity, from the sixteenth century onward: colonial domination, proto-racisms, the epistemic inferiorization of the non-Western world, the transatlantic capitalist/ mercantile order, and uneven development among other issues.
Proto-racism is also identified in Roman views of subject peoples, the idea of collective natural slavery was intertwined with patterns of conquest, subjugation and governance.
According to this perspective, these ideas already existed in the form of proto-racism and Shakespeare employs the medium of theatre to reinforce and disseminate them.

pos: adj
examples: Racist doctrines were not fully utilized to justify slavery in the Americas until the nineteenth century (though proto-racist ideas were so employed in the previous two centuries), in part because slavery was not thought to require a moral justification, and in part because the concept of "race" had not been fully developed.
Hannaford insists that later thinkers from the Renaissance onwards selected bits from Greek texts that fitted with their ideas about race, thus casting thinkers such as Aristotle and Plato as proto-racist and misunderstanding the real character of Greek ideas.
From this perspective, although the Greeks and Romans did not embark on the kind of institutionalised racism that was commonplace in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, proto-racist ideas did exist in Greco-Roman texts.
gloss: A person who displays protoracist attitudes or behaviors.
pos: noun
examples: This assumption had its origins in the ideas of nineteenth-century critics of utilitiarianism. These critics — they might be romantics, historicists, nationalists, or proto-racists — held that utilitarianism took individuals and their interests as the building blocks of social and political theory, was oblivious to the historical determinants of "human nature" and hence left no room for a strong conception of nationhood and nationality, let alone a bilogically grounded deterministic conception of race.
The church fathers allegorized biblical references to Ethiopians (in the LXX and New Testament) as symbols for sin, going so far as to depict devils as black Ethiopians; nevertheless, historians still view them as inheritors of the classical literary tradition that employed black-white color symbolism to represent good and evil instead of as proto-racists.
In the wake of two wars, these men, their families, and servants were probably fearful of Indians; they certainly did not consider them their equals. Yet that did not make them racists or proto-racists, but pragmatic businessmen.
gloss: A person who has the potential to become a racist.
pos: noun
examples: If they had asked, they might have found that the last thing which many minority ethnic people wanted was anti-fascist and anti-racist marches which alerted proto-racists and fascists to the fact that they had a vulnerable minority ethnic population in their midst.
A critical antiracism also points to the need to move away from 'doctrinaire' (MacDonald et al, 1989) and dogmatic forms of antiracism which homogenize and caricature Whites as proto-racists and Blacks as victims.
This also means that one cannot work with the assumptions that all 'whites' are necessarily and only proto-racists, or that all 'blacks' are necessarily and always victims.

The win caused Bogost, a critic of the freemium model used by Zynga, to be struck with the thought: "Games like FarmVille are cow clickers. You click on a cow, and that's all you do." He subsequently developed Cow Clicker, an intentionally simplistic parody game, which itself became a surprise viral hit.
