How do you identify a racist individual?

My grandmother used to say - there are two ways you can identify a racist person: 1) a racist person will not make direct eye contact with you, and 2) if you extend your hand, a racist person will look at your hand before shaking it. Of course, this is an infallible method because the person could be shy, lack confidence and/or they could have mysophobia.

When they make racist statements, especially when they disguise it as "it's just a joke", or they show racism through their actions.

@Northwest Yeah, I notice that about racist people. Most of them won't reveal their racism right out but they will first 'test the waters' to see how far they can go.
