Preferred term

racetalk  

Definition

  • Racetalk consists of the shared vocabularies and conceptual frameworks used to denigrate different racial and ethnic groups in everyday life. Although the open expression of overtly negative racist attitudes, stereotypes, and derogatory ethnic labels was once more socially acceptable in media outlets and in everyday conversation, some argue that newer forms of racial discourse exist in the contemporary post-civil rights era.
