main words, phrases, clauses, and sentences related to the topic. Third, the researcher read carefully the data in order to have the clear interpretation. The
last step, the data were categorized into three aspects of racism practice in line with the topic of discussion: the use of language, the relationship, and the
symbolization. During the process of the data collection, the researcher used a particular form of data sheet to easily see the progress of her research. The
form of data sheet is presented in the figure below:

D. Research Instruments
The main instrument of this research was the human instrument, that was the researcher her self. For Creswell 2009:175, one of the qualitative
research characteristics is that the researcher acts as the key instrument by collecting data by him or herself. He or she may use a protocol or an
instrument for collecting data but the researcher is the one who gathers the information.
Holding on Creswells statement, the researcher gathered the information with the concept of racial prejudice and its construction based on the post
colonialism theory from Fanon as illustrated in the analytical construction presented in the chart at the end of chapter II. In addition, the researcher also
used the data sheet to arrange the data systematically.
E. The Data Trustworthiness
To prove the research trustworthiness, the data triangulation to check the validity and reliability of the data were employed. The data triangulation itself
is employed through the following steps. First, the researcher evaluated the data of her research with the theoretical concept presented in the chart of the
analytical construct. Second, the researcher read and re-read the data until she reached certainty of the data with valid interpretation with the references
presented in the analytical construct. The researcher was also checked the data with other researcher who are employing post colonial theory for their
thesis and research. She also consulted the data to her consultants. The purpose of doing this technique was to keep the consistency of the data.
