I don't think you can tell whether someone is a racist by their sense of humor. IMO, that's absurd. You can tell a racist because they usually expound at length about the inferiority of the race they've chosen to hate. AFAIK, GZ isn't a proponent of eugenics.
FTR, I don't embrace the social construct of separate races.
I strongly disagree. If someone repeatedly makes "jokes" about a particular race, class, or group, then yes, I can certainly tell they are a racist or bigot. A lot of people seem to think that if it's said in a joking manner, then it "doesn't count." IMO, that's just someone who has learned that expounding at length about said race, class, or group is distasteful and off-putting to many other people, so they hide behind their "jokes." I don't think racism has to be so pronounced that one must be outwardly verbose about it in order for it to qualify as racism.
