This article analyses, from a selection of newspaper articles, some "racist accusations" that were expressed in English Canada since the 1995 referendum. Examining several events in the media ("cases" Rakoff, Lawrence Martin, Diane Francis, Gerry Weiner, David Levine…), this analysis shows how marginalized discourses went through several stages of racism (Wieviorka, 1991), leading to a slightly more systematic racist opinion within the "Rest of Canada" and to a verbal violence that occurs often enough that the problem can no longer be considered secondary. In a particular case (Levine case), racism even became a principle for action and mobilization which reached several (journalistic, political, popular) spheres of society. To illustrate the spread, the banalization and the legitimization of a certain racist discourse (which uses universal arguments to delegitimize the "Other"), the analysis emphasizes the link between discourse and theory in light of recent scientific works which define the structure, the discursive elements and the mechanisms for the production of racism.
