Abstract
This paper demonstrates how racial stereotypes popularized in British society impinge on criminal justice discursive constructions of masculine culture as a privilege confined to white males. It focuses on the racial dichotomy in patterns of discursive response to similar sexual (hetero) behaviors of black and white males within a London courtroom, in ways that bear resemblance to popular portrayals of black and white male sexualities. The paper is informed by the strands of British feminism that have theorized a gender‐specific legal system, based on masculine ideologies which tend to work more favorably for males than females.
