Rasism eller kulturalism? : en innehållsanalys av Sverigedemokraternas principprogram

Utifrån resultaten diskuteras vidare en eventuell fara med att inte definiera vissa aspekter som rasism, problematiken med Sverigedemokraternas språkbruk och ordval i förhållande till den anti-rasistiska diskursen samt några tankar kring vad ett principprogram i realiteten innebär.
