conservative. I have known some racists in my time, some conservative and some liberal. The difference was that the conservative racist knew that they were racist while the liberals always denied it.
Of the two the liberal racist are much more dangerous. I would much rather face an overtly hostile guy with a knife than one who is pretending to be my friend. The hostile guy I will keep an eye on. The friendly guy can probably sneak under my radar.
I will always believe that the most insidious form of racism is that of lowered expectations. I have seen it throughout my career and I have seen the real harm it causes. Overt racism is pretty easy to avoid now days and therefore does very little harm.
