Abstract

Discrimination occurred in the basis on skin color. Racial groups express preferences for individuals with lighter skins. Racism itself can be defined as a set of institutional conditions of group inequality and an ideology of racial discrimination. Morrison in her novels depicts the behaviors as one realization of discrimination. Seeing the data concerning on the construction of black people as differentiated ethnic group culturally that becomes a discourse to be rejected, this article aims at explaining the construction of black people as differentiated ethnic group culturally that becomes a discourse to be rejected. The analysis arrives at the question about the differentiation as a means of difficult acceptance.
