Great summary, thank you for distilling it so well! This text reminds me a lot of Glissant's Poetics of Relation. I think its a beautiful text, hope you can give it a chance if you haven't

19:20 I think the first one that came up with the arguement was the great Audre Lorde (you can't dismantle the master's house with the master's tools)

I don't know why most of the academic works on racism do not talk about the enduring caste system. As Isabela Wilkerson points out that the caste system provides the skeletal framework for racism to function. I think addressing the caste situatedness would make way for better comprehension.
Also, it's pretty evident that Gilroy speaks from a position of privilege to be able to talk in such a disenchanted tone. Alot of what he writes are observations, readings, his own assimilations. They don't really look like embodied experience.

caste system? this is isnt about indian identity. write it! assimilation is the whole point. and what is your "embodied experience" rap music & drug crime? singing in church? whats your problem with privileged black identity anyways? youd be telling atlanta its basically 2/3 disembodied

@@jimimased1894 please be a little harmonious in your tone. Caste isn't just an Indian problem. Please gather more information about it.
