“…As a result, research on minority discourse(s) in Germany has primarily relied on the works of scholars, activists, and elite members of the minority as the site of counter-discourse analysis. At its core, these studies analyse systemic racism that suppresses the work of minority scholars and voices of scholar-activists in German universities (Florvil, 2020; Hoppe et al, 2018; Lennox, 2016; Malakaj, 2020). Even though these analyses are valuable to understanding the counter-hegemonic discourse of minorities, they have nonetheless turned away attention from the ‘popular’ or ‘grassroots’ counter racism discourse within the minority community.…”

This paper investigates the racial discourse in the Afro-diaspora group in Germany. It uses the ‘discourse-historical approach’ – a strand of Critical Discourse Analysis – for the three-dimensional analysis of language biographical data of 67 African migrants in Germany. The study provides African migrants’ accounts of racism, identifies four discursive strategies, and then examines the semantics of a counter-racialisation term developed to cope with racism. The study finds Afro-diaspora racial discourse as a site for confronting the racism problem, legitimising the race idea, and contingent on migrants’ access to material resources in Germany. Furthermore, the term ‘fake-oyinbo’ indicates an ability to use simple linguistic terms in an intended way of racial categorisation within race relations thinking. The paper concludes that Afro-diasporans’ racial discourse is a ‘grassroots’ minority discourse revealing a counter-racialisation linguistic action while explaining and justifying the condition of the ordinary black minority.
