That’s pretty easy. Not all racists actively hate. Some just have the sincere belief that their race is superior than others. One of my earliest employers back in the 70s told me how pleased she was with my work, because "usually you people are so lazy." You would never have convinced her she was a racist; after all, she’d hired me. And she thought she was paying me a compliment ! I also had a black coworker for years married to a white man who despised black people, but he thought his wife was an exception.
@bijouxbroussard Micro racisms are insidious.

@hartfire Indeed. They’re more hurtful, because they’re often hidden behind an affable exterior.
