This paper explores how the constructs of 'prejudice' and 'racism' were used and understood by respondents in an interview study concerning the settlement of Albanian refugees in Greece. Analysis indicated the existence of multiple, potentially contradictory, common sense understandings of prejudice and racism, analogous to some accounts of the prejudice construct in academic social psychology. However, notwithstanding the fact that respondents displayed multiple understandings of racism or prejudice in theory, these abstract formulations were rarely employed to account for actual instances of discrimination. Specific discriminatory acts against Albanian people were framed instead as matters of fear and risk. By virtue of being cast within a problematic of in/security rather than within the discursive frame of prejudice, particular hostile actions against the Albanian refugees could be glossed as reasonable and understandable.
本文探讨了在一项关于阿尔巴尼亚难民在希腊定居情况的访谈研究中，受访者如何理解和使用“偏见”与“种族主义”这两个概念。分析表明，人们对偏见和种族主义存在多种可能相互矛盾的常识性理解，这与学术社会心理学中关于偏见概念的一些描述类似。然而，尽管受访者在理论上对种族主义或偏见有多种理解，但这些抽象的表述很少被用来解释实际的歧视事件。针对阿尔巴尼亚人的具体歧视行为反而被界定为恐惧和风险问题。由于被置于不安全的问题框架内，而非偏见的话语框架内，针对阿尔巴尼亚难民的特定敌对行为可以被解释为合理且可理解的。
