摘要：This article seeks to understand the enactment of racial violence, here symbolised by the British Union flag, from the perspective of white subjectivity. Utilising David Theo Goldberg's conceptualisation of "identity-in-otherness", and Aileen Moreton-Robinson's concept of the "possessive logic of patriarchal white sovereignty", the article makes the claim that racial violence is the predictable outcome of a whiteness that must negate the 'other's' difference whilst preserving the integrity of racialised space. The argument is illustrated with examples drawn from three sources: the author's personal experience; the fictive portrayal of racial violence in Hanif Kureshi's novel The Black Album; and the events of the Cronulla Beach pogrom in December 2005
