I grew up in the south in a deeply racist white area, so I can speak about those types at least. They see racism as an intrinsic, intractable part of reality that governs every interaction. They don’t see non-whites as full human beings and don’t believe white people can have meaningful interactions with them. I don’t think it’s an inferiority complex at all, they’re fully convinced every non-white is like bacteria and will destroy all of civilization.
But that explains why I get the same reaction about not being racist in the same way vegans get for supporting animal rights…they literally see us as livestock at best.
with the people I grew up around, they did use the term racist negatively, but they defined as something more like “saying slurs around non-whites.” They only see as manners, which is why they’ll deny being a racist if you ask them. They’ll be polite to non-whites in day to day interactions, but they do not perceive poc as full human beings. They’ll smile politely as they endorse genocidal policy.
The white folk from my hometown are the worst racist scum on earth and a big reason for why I believe we’ll need widespread re-education.

That’s…kind of what I feared.
