How can you tell if someone is racist when you first meet them in person?

There are usually a few clues in the way they speak or look around while you're walking. Take a moment to observe whether they're even tempered with everyone or if they stop and stare or comment on anyone. Those are a few basic markers.

Very overt comments don't tend to emerge till you know a person a little better.

Quite simply, when he says stupid things about people who look different, or when he behaves badly towards people who look different.

Their behavior and the shit they talk about to you. Other than that you really won’t know.

A reminder, just because you like racist jokes doesn’t mean you are racist. Damn I like racist jokes about my own race.

If they’re of the conservative party, it’s like a 50-50 shot on if they’re racist or not

Yeah unless they're blatantly obvious, if you can sus this part out you'll pretty much know for sure.

I'd say higher than 50%

Their behavior will tell you.
