Ethnocentric racism targets different minorities while sharing commensurable structures across nations

Evidence

Ethnocentric forms of racism seem to be targeted at particular minority groups depending on the specific national context and their histories of migration and racialization. Similar patterns of substitution and commensurability apply to the understanding of ethnocentric racism within the context of the networld. The nationalists in Germany focus on the Turks, whereas their compatriots in Britain will demonize Afro- Caribbeans and South Asians. The processes of racialization are commensurable even though the complexion of the racial Other varies. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 2571
