Abstract

This article analyzes how White racial absolution, a form of White resistance to interrogating White racial identity through discourse, impedes cross-racial intergroup dialogs (IGDs) and impacts the IGD experience of Students of Color (SOC). Eleven undergraduate IGD students and six undergraduate IGD facilitators participated, and critical race discourse analysis (CRDA) was used for analysis. Findings showed that White students engaged in White racial absolution by avoiding White racial sharing (WRS), or side-stepping conversations regarding their Whiteness. The three themes around WRS included (a) Whiteness as a justification to not contribute to the IGD, (b) offering surface-level commentary regarding Whiteness, and (c) leaning on other social-identity-based marginalities or summoning the racial experiences of People of Color. Implications from this study illustrate that White racial absolution within cross-racial IGD alienates SOC, which stifles the overarching goal of resolving gaps between people of diverse social identity backgrounds.

“他们并没有真正的关键经验，他们认为他们可以带到谈判桌上”:跨种族间对话中对白人种族赦免的看法

本文分析了白人种族赦免是一种白人通过话语抵制对白人种族身份的质疑的形式，它如何阻碍跨种族群体间对话(IGDs)并影响有色人种学生(SOC)的IGD体验。11名本科IGD学生和6名本科IGD辅导员参与，使用批判性种族话语分析(CRDA)进行分析。研究结果表明，白人学生通过避免白人种族分享(WRS)或回避关于他们的白人身份的对话来参与白人种族赦免。围绕WRS的三个主题包括:(a)白人作为不参与IGD的理由，(b)提供关于白人的表面评论，以及(c)依赖其他基于社会身份的边缘或召唤有色人种的种族经验。本研究表明，跨种族IGD中的白人种族赦免疏远了SOC，从而扼杀了解决不同社会身份背景人群之间差距的总体目标。
