abstract="This project examines a rarely-examined form of racism--racist discourse that occurs in ordinary conversations. We explore the ways that race talk helps to legitimate and reinforce the existing racist structure Feagin (2000): through boundary marking, boundary policing, and boundary maintenance. Previous research on racist discourse primarily uses survey and interview data, as well as texts and speeches (see Bonilla-Silva & Forman, 2000; Doane, 1996; Steeh & Schuman, 1992). All of these forms of data are public talk--ideas knowingly shared with outsiders. Our research looks behind closed doors to see if the &quot;old racism&quot; is dead, or if it has simply become more discreet. We find that ordinary people actively engage in various kinds of &quot;race talk&quot; in private.<p />",
