Generally for most people racism is primarily associated with prejudice, slavery or discrimination and not that of discourse which may seem to be just text and talk. But, according to Dijk (1999) discourse plays an important role in reproduction of modern-day racism. This is also true for the racism by the elites of politics, media, corporate, bureaucratic and education, which control the most key decisions of everyday lives of minorities and immigrants such as entry, work, residence, education, health care, welfare, knowledge, culture and information. They do this by talk and text for instance in cabinet meetings, new reports, debates, advertising, textbooks, articles, talk shows are few forms of elite discourse. It is also true that of all various other forms of racism or discrimination enacted in society against immigrants and minorities, discourse may be the first form of verbal discrimination. Thus, elite discourse is important constituent in reproduction of racism. Also, verbal and social practices enacted through talk and text reproduces ethnic prejudice or discrimination. Therefore, in modern day society, discourse is the main constituent of racism
