I would like to thank my colleagues, Stephen Ashe, Robert Gibb, Andy Smith and Louise Virdee, for their helpful comments on an earlier version of this essay.
Notes
1. The advice to sociologists to stop using ‘race as if it were a synonym for colour’ (Banton 2012, p. 4) is important although hardly original given that Robert Miles (Citation1982) made this argument almost three decades ago.
2. The storm this article generated finally forced Dr Kanazawa to formally apologize to LSE Director, Judith Rees, in September 2011, www2.lse.ac.uk/newsAndMedia/news/archives/2011/09/kanazawa.aspx (accessed 26 September 2011).
3. Banton I am sure is aware of such concerns, given he was an active participant in the debates that raged in the Institute of Race Relations and its in-house journal Race and Class during the 1970s (Sivanandan Citation2008).
