Propositions are deep semantic structures more elementary structure than sentences. They are isomorphic to the structures of thinking of a human being. The analysis of semantic configurations of propositions as well as distribution of semantic roles of actants verbalized in active and passive sentences used by American and British politicians for denoting of events, facts, situations connected natives and aliens can reveal prejudiced attitude of politicians to the representatives of other nations, Muskins in particular. The analysis of distribution of semantic roles of actants verbalized in active and passive sentences used by politicians reveals the propositions of prejudice discourse wE / OUR: GOOD – THEY / ALIEN: BAD; wE /OUR: NOT BAD – THEY / ALIEN: NOT GOOD. In active sentences aliens are given roles of negative (non positive) actions, experiencers of negative stated, patience of positive activity of others.
