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.

I’d look at a hand before shaking it to check it looked clean.

@Gingerbreadspice Clean looking hands don't prevent Covid... 🤷‍♀️

@HootyTheNightOwl Not talking about Covid. Shaking hands is banned here in Covid times I meant before.

@Gingerbreadspice Do you do this irrespective of a person's race? Or do you pay extra attention to the hands of black people?

@Gingerbreadspice Shaking hands is banned? Where? That's a very draconic law. What about kissing and having sex? Is that banned too?

@LoveTriumphsOverHate Yes I do irrespective of race. You wouldn’t eat off a surface that didn’t look clean so why touch something.
