本文在恐怖恐慌的背景下考虑了种族背负的越轨标签，这一背景特别嵌入了一个提到失败的多元文化主义的框架中。它是对现有关于这一主题的文献的补充，讨论了继续构建与“棕色身体”相关的负面标签如何限制了这一人口群体的生活机会和自由。然而，这篇论文认为，将棕色身体构建为偏差也允许在相同的背景下与白色身体相关的任何实际偏差标签被原谅，或者至少比与棕色身体对应的身体相比更容易得到原谅。这是可能的，因为白人的常态和中心地位，使其主体处于权力和权威的相对地位。这篇论文认为，在恐怖恐慌的背景下，恐慌驱动的对棕色身体的关注意味着，即使在明显存在问题的行为的情况下，白色身体也经常被忽视。
This paper considers ethnically loaded deviant labels within a terror-panic context that is specifically embedded in a framework that refers to failed multiculturalism. It complements existing literature on the subject by discussing how the continued construction of negative labels with reference to ‘brown bodies’ limits the life chances and freedoms of this population group. The paper however argues that constructing brown bodies as deviant also allows for any actual deviant labels associated with white bodies within the same context to be excused or at least more readily excused in comparison to their brown bodied counterparts. This is possible because of the normality and central position of whiteness, which places its subjects in a relative position of power and authority. The paper argues that a panic-driven preoccupation with the brown body within the terror-panic context means that white bodies are often passed over for attention, even in instances where problematic behaviour is evident.
