All raait! It's a new white black-white lingo 

Steven Swinford and Laura St Quinton Sunday Times 11/12/05 

Article Summary 

This article describes the way in which many students from different ethnic backgrounds (such as White Anglo backgrounds, Arab, Ghanaian and many more) all speak the same dialect and use slang words. The journalists within the article look into why slang has become so popular amongst young people and how it is spreading. Further into their research they look into the similar but also changing accents of the London students which they seem to have discovered that in the last 50 years or so racial/culture divides no longer exist, therefore society is mixing more and developing in new ways. 

The researchers look into how music participates a role in spreading the dialect through broadcasting on the radio and they use the London rapper Dizzee Rascal as an example.
