Racist discourse tends to favor the ingroup and derogate the outgroup

Evidence

Although not yet very detailed, nor very sophisticated, this brief list of levels and some structures of discourse gives a first impression of how discourse and its various structures may link up with some aspects of racism. Note also that the examples given show the kind of group polarization we also know from underlying prejudices, namely, the overall tendency of ingroup favoritism or positive self-presentation, on the one hand, and outgroup derogation or negative Other-presentation, on the other. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1062
