[edit] Criticism
Some in opposition to Mills' opinions have criticized his writing (particularly in The Racial Contract), alleging the use of false correlations in order to demonstrate the existence of racism and subjugation. Critics of affirmative action have also criticized him, claiming a misrepresentation of the subjugation of non-whites in the present. Mills' writing style also receives some criticisms.
