“…The blog, which repeatedly emphasises proximity to the actors and the concerns of the New Right, for example, by placing ads for the publishing house Antaios, positions itself as a resistance to the mainstream discourse supposedly dominated by the ‘subtle dictates of political correctness’ (https://www.pi-news.net/leitlinien/). It thus prototypically represents the far-right’s subversion of the concept of political correctness as a stigma word to defame emancipatory positions like anti-racism as censorship and authoritarian language policing (Auer, 2002). 1 In spite of its decided anti-Islam position, the blog professes itself to the German constitution ( Grundgesetz ) and the Human Rights, supposedly promoting the idea of ‘tolerance towards foreign cultures’ as long as they remain at a distance and do not force the domestic society ‘to abandon its own culture’.…”

Newer forms of racism in the context of right-wing extremism are characterised by an apparent distancing from overt racist devaluations. In addition or even beyond biological features, it is now cultural characteristics attributed to social groups which serve as grounds for practices of othering and social exclusion. This paper analyses racist discourse in the comment sections of the influential far-right blog pi-news.com where these practices can be observed in detail. With reference to discourse analytical approaches to racism and using corpus-linguistic, data-driven methods, especially word embeddings and collocations, it is shown how racism is linguistically and discursively expressed. Next to both overt and more implicit racist nominations and predications, the notion of Heimat (‘homeland’) is analysed; it is used to draw racist demarcations without relying on overtly racialising terms.
