    “Race relations” is itself a racist notion, the idea that a race is a real ontological entity and that people can be spokespersons on behalf of a race. This usually means meritocratic elitist race representatives dismissing notions of racial justice which threaten economic arrangements that sustain the system that causes racial disparities in the first place. “Race relations” is how you get things like entrepreneurial programs (half of all businesses fail in general) for racialized business owners instead of improved social services.
