    Like all forms of discrimination, racist discourse is especially powerful when conveyed in sophisticated rituals that make it appear commonsensical. The latter are often produced by persons sincere in their rejection of racism and hence involve successful denial thereof. Couched in symbolism attributing positive qualities to racialized groups, these forms stem from benevolent racism (with parallels in benevolent sexism) ― as opposed to hostile racism, where open stigmatization of the outgroup is allowed or even encouraged. Using discourse analysis of migration-related reporting in the Hungarian press in the mid-2010s, the focus of this study is the racialization of Muslims in coverage that is openly critical of anti-Muslim rhetoric. Benchmarking benevolent racist framing against the hostile variant, I outline the various workarounds deployed, probably unwittingly, by promoters of the former to uphold building blocks of the latter ― most significantly the idea that Muslims constitute a threat to Western civilization. In the process, I take stock of the shifts in meaning that nominally invariant phraseology undergoes between (a) distant points in time (e.g., the adjective "Judeo-Christian", originating in anti-Semitic rhetoric but currently mostly used to signal commitment to antiracism) and (b) when deployed with regard to, respectively, Muslims, Christians, and Jews.
