在英国脱欧公投之后，脱欧者和脱欧者在媒体、政治、知识、社会科学和日常话语中被认定为具有一系列有争议的种族化和阶级化特征。这种对离开者和离开者的描述的核心是在以种族主义为导向的话语中普遍存在的一种观点，即离开者比离开者更有可能在多元文化和移民问题上持种族主义态度。本文借鉴了实地调查，研究了种族主义的情绪化的指控，由离开者和反对者在对方阐述，并在日常话语和社会交往中表达。我们探讨了种族主义在社会交往中减少到离开或留下“各种人”的个人特征的方式。我们的论点是，种族主义的个人化以这种方式无意中取代和削减了对英国社会中白色特权再现的批判性反思。
After the referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU, leavers and remainers have become identified in media, political, intellectual, social scientific and everyday discourses with a contested set of racialised and classed characteristics. Central to this portrayal of leavers and remainers is the idea widespread within remain-orientated discourse that leavers are more likely to hold racist attitudes on questions of multiculturalism and immigration compared to remainers. This article draws on fieldwork that examines the emotive accusation of racism articulated by leavers and remainers at each other, and expressed in everyday discourses and social interactions. We explore the ways in which racism becomes reduced within social interactions to an individual characteristic of leave or remain ‘kinds of people’. Our argument is that the individualisation of racism in this way inadvertently displaces and curtails critical reflection on the reproduction of white privilege in British society.
