Yeah, the marxists (like the Fields and Adolph Reed) are big on their analytical categories and the historical and capitalist why of race, they call it ascriptive identity category, like you mentioned. I think their work is the key to undoing a lot of this antiracism mess, as they show why its so popular, it serves neoliberalism
