  • Summary

    This chapter enlarges the boundary of racial justice by considering sexual racism as another form of private racism. Here too racial discrimination affects our private lives. This kind of discrimination concerns perhaps the most private of opportunities. It too is wrong, or so this chapter argues. I show that racism makes it more difficult for those who are not white to find intimacy, where intimacy is the opportunity to be in a romantic or sexual relationship. This chapter shows that racial discrimination, stereotypes, and intersectionality happen in our intimate lives, what I call “sexual racism.” Websites and platforms that steer its users to discriminate on the basis of race facilitate sexual racism. Because they are public accommodations, we should prohibit them from doing so. This is one way to address racism in our intimate lives.
