A list of the most common types of racists we come across. There are many other kinds, I’ll let you point them out.
Feel free to add/amend/disagree/share examples, experiences
Or just roll your eyes at these guys the way we do...

1. The Out and Out Racist
Easy to spot on Internet and Weatherspoons. Proud fash, readily spews bile against all minorities, cheers when migrants drown, fantasises about burning down Bradford.

(apparently I don't know how to do a thread, the list is all over the place. And they say brown men are meant to be good at IT!)
2. The Selective Racist
Backs up prejudice towards specific groups on echo chamber politics (black kids = knife crime/Pakistanis = grooming gangs). Convinced he can’t be a racist because has a Vietnamese wife.

3. The Casual Racist
Gave no indication of racism when you became friends, but then one day will say “I’ll grab us some fags from the p@ki shop and a takeaway from the chinkies”

4. The Unintentional Racist
Loves having minorities as friends, but keep their focus solely on your roots. Anyone Asian must be interested in curry and accounts of the time they befriended an elephant in Hyderabad, any black person obviously into basketball/hip–hop.

5. The Just ‘avin a Laugh Racist
A joke designed to belittle isn’t funny = Bernard Manning. But what about when it’s observational, relatable comedy?
Like this gag by Jerry Sadowitz: “How do you fit 12 Pakistanis in the back of a Nissan Micra? Dunno, but they do, don’t they?"

6. The Gaslighting Racist
Doesn’t do anything visibly racist, but has a knack for making you suspect you’re being left out because of the colour of your skin. If you take issue with it, they’ll be outraged and leave you feeling worse.

7. The Fetishising Racist
The one that will have a black partner to piss off parents or as an exotic accessory.
(By the way, people of colour do this too with white partners)

8. The Out–racisting White Racists Racist
I’m uneasy about the term ‘Uncle Tom’, but we all know a POC embarrassed of their ethnic origin who sucks up to their white counterparts to the point of throwing us into a ditch.

Sorry, I had to delete and do them properly (cheers for the retweets @JazzySid but you'll get why it was doing my head in!)
@partialschism @eddiebridgette @SwarbRacer96 It's a minefield. If you say black people have rhythm , a black person here can rightly say "shut up, I can't dance for shit", but generalisation, by definition, doesn't cater for the individual, but what's apparent of the majority. That saiid, t's a murky road to tread...
Here's a new one.
