Abstract

This research examines racist language uttered by white racists found in the interaction between them and black people in the 1992 biographical drama film, Malcolm X. The film talks about an iconic black figure in fighting for equal rights and social equality in the United States, Malcolm X. In the film, racist language is uttered by them not only in blatant ways but also in subtle ways. Thus, this research aims at explaining discourse structures that underlie racism in their utterances using Teun A. van Dijk’s approach of Critical Discourse Analysis. This research also aims at explaining how social context influences the reproduction of racist utterances by using Dell Hyme’s Ethnography of Communication or SPEAKING. This research is classified as descriptive qualitative research because it aims to describe and interpret the data in the form of words as in white racist people’s utterances in the film. The data are gained from utterances and sentences expressing racist attitudes by white racist people in the film. The researcher found that there are 25 utterances expressing racism. From those data, 27 aspects of the utterances are used in syntactic (5), semantic (1), stylistic (8), and rhetorical (13) aspects. Based on the social contexts, white racist people expressed racist utterances because racism has been shaped cognitively in American society since the slavery over black people and the SPEAKING aspects influence them to produce racism manifested in their utterances.
