European internal racial mixing coexists with hardened external border barricades

Evidence

Now relatively undeterred and deregulated flows and mixture have been germane to promoting globalized neoliberal commerce. Within the European theater they have been helped along, if unevenly, by more or less resonant informal social intercourse across racial lines. But the promotion of a racially muted sociality within has been supplemented by a more forceful if sometimes symbolic cementing of racially circumscribed border barricades around “fortress Europe” at its geographic limits. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 814

• QUESTION: Worth chasing: how far does the internal ‘racially muted sociality’ actually extend — which groups are included in the informal mixing and which remain excluded?
