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.

“他们并没有真正拥有他们认为可以带到桌面上的关键经验”：在跨种族群际对话中对白人种族赦免的看法

本文分析了白人种族赦免，一种白人抵抗通过话语审问白人种族身份的形式，如何阻碍跨种族群际对话 (IGD) 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 协调员参加，并使用批判种族话语分析 (CRDA) 进行分析。调查结果表明，白人学生通过避免白人种族分享 (WRS) 或回避有关其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) 白人作为不为 IGD 做出贡献的理由，(b) 提供关于白人的表面评论，以及 (c) 依靠其他基于社会身份的边缘或召唤种族经历有色人种。
