Black-white youth dialogue does not reduce racism toward other minorities.

Evidence

One of the clear lessons to be garnered from the British experience is that dialogue between Afro-Caribbean and white workingclass youth may have little or no impact on the use of racist discourses that are applied by whites to other minorities. This process of triangularization in the geometry of inclusion and exclusion is one of the enduring features of the current situation. In some of London’s mixed youth communities the term “Somali” has become a stigmatized form of abuse as used by black and white perpetrators. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 2998

Categorization

• DEFINE: Introduces ‘triangularization in the geometry of inclusion and exclusion’ — the idea that inclusion of one group can be built on exclusion of another, a third-party target.
• STORYSTEM: A scene where Somali teens navigate a London estate where both black and white peers use ‘Somali’ as an insult — the internal complexity of solidarity and scapegoating within a mixed youth community.
