ABSTRACT
When blatantly racist discourses about domestic helpers in Hong Kong are not hedged, mitigated or excused, it suggests that such racist talk is considered legitimate and natural in the local context. Thus, voicing prejudice/racist beliefs is more than just individual and intergroup processes – it is “a collective and ideological process linked to the power and social relations of a particular society within a particular historical context” (Augoustinos, Walker & Donaghue, 2014, p. 267) (see Chapter 8).
