Everyday racism means discriminating practices in everyday situations and everyday language. While racism is expressed through obvious violent or verbal attacks, it is also expressed through subtler practices and systems that discriminate people based on their colour of skin, background, or religion. Racism becomes evident in prejudices, racist and derogative remarks or terms, gestures or looks. For example, questions like “Where are you from?” or “When are you going back home?” are expressions of everyday racism; they communicate that the person is considered not to belong to the (national) community.
