Contemporary white supremacy often takes hold through strategies of racial disavowal. One strategy that political parties and regular citizens in Bulgaria use is what I call determined indeterminacy. Determined indeterminacy is a collective, institutionalized method of denying the ubiquitous systemic racism that undergirds social life. It allows people to naturalize white supremacy and render it adaptably persistent. This is the case especially in contexts of aspirational whiteness, such as Bulgaria, where whiteness is fraught and many people claim that their country has never been racial. Tracing Bulgaria's history of racial disavowal helps us understand how the local particularities of white supremacy naturalize, transform, and set in place long‐standing racial hierarchies.

白人至上的确定性不确定性


当代白人至上主义常常通过种族否认的策略来巩固。我称之为保加利亚政党和普通公民使用的一项策略确定的不确定性。确定的不确定性是一种集体的、制度化的方法，旨在否认支撑社会生活的普遍存在的系统性种族主义。它使人们能够自然化白人至上主义，并使其具有适应性地持续存在。尤其是在追求白人的背景下尤其如此，例如保加利亚，那里的白人问题令人担忧，许多人声称他们的国家从来没有种族歧视。追溯保加利亚种族否认的历史有助于我们了解白人至上的当地特殊性如何自然化、转变和建立长期存在的种族等级制度。
