Abstract

Hate speech monitoring has become a challenging task for social media platforms. While efforts have been made to combat racism and other forms of hate speech, marginalised communities, such as the Roma are frequent targets of intense discrimination and online racist abuse. This article examines manifestations of Romaphobia, also known as anti-Roma racism, on YouTube in the context of 2016 UK Referendum on EU membership, when Roma along with other Eastern European migrants became demonized in the right-wing narratives of Brexit supporters. Drawing on Thematic Analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis, the article provides an in-depth account of how Romaphobia is discursively constructed in the commentaries of those watching YouTube documentaries about Eastern European migrants. In addition to drawing attention to various forms of overt and covert racism that fly under the radar in the content moderation process, the analysis shows that ‘entitlement racism’ is gradually becoming normalised in social media, with anti-Roma racism acquiring alarming levels of verbal violence which needs immediate attention.

YouTube上的种族主义:白人伤害——羞辱英国罗姆移民的许可证
仇恨言论监控已成为社交媒体平台的一项具有挑战性的任务。尽管已经努力打击种族主义和其他形式的仇恨言论,但罗姆人等边缘化社区经常成为严重歧视和网络种族主义虐待的目标。这篇文章探讨了在2016年英国欧盟成员国公投的背景下,罗姆人恐惧症(也称为反罗姆人种族主义)在YouTube上的表现,当时罗姆人和其他东欧移民在脱欧支持者的右翼叙事中被妖魔化。本文运用主题分析和批判性话语分析,深入描述了在观看YouTube上关于东欧移民的纪录片的人的评论中,罗马恐惧症是如何被随意构建的。除了提请人们注意在内容审核过程中被忽视的各种形式的公开和隐蔽的种族主义外,分析还表明,“权利种族主义”正在社交媒体中逐渐正常化,反罗姆人种族主义的言语暴力达到了惊人的水平,需要立即关注。
