• Resumen

  • In this article, I shall discuss my research on ethnically mixed friendship groups in an English neighbourhood where there was a substantial population with roots in the Indian subcontinent.My sociolinguistic analyses concentrated on youngsters of African Caribbean and Anglo descent using Punjabi, youngsters of Punjabi and Anglo descent using Caribbean Creole, and all three using a form of stylised Asian English.Focusing on language �crossing� and �stylisation� like this, I was able to collect a lot of evidence on the ways in which youngsters used language and the tiny details of talk to negotiate ethnic difference and race division, and in the first section, I will provide a glimpse of my findings. After that, I shall offer an interpretation of the antiracism that this involved, and I shall conclude with some implications.
