strictly speaking, capitalism is a specific type of market economy that arose during the european settler colonial era. scientific racism arose during that same era as a justification for the proceedings.

its reasonable to confuse it with the colloquial use of the word which refers to many types of market economies including historial systems that lacked many of the main features of the modern capitalist economy, but hey. i should have stated my definition to avoid confusion.
