IT IS EASY TO SEE TYPICAL RACIST. HOWEVER, THERE IS A MUCH LARGER GROUP WHICH ARE NOT FULLY CONVERTED RACISTS YET. BUT IF ENVIRONMENT IS RIGHT, THEIR TRANSFORMATION WOULD NOT TAKE LONG. THIS GROUP IS NOT EASY TO SPOT. BUT MY OBSERVATION INDICATES THAT THERE ARE SIGNS WHICH WE MAY IDENTIFY. IF WE TAKE A CLOSER LOOK, WE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE WHO ARE THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE HIDDEN DANGER

Leo Tolstoy said:
“Everyone thinks of changing the
world, but no one thinks of changing
himself.”
This quote is more than a hundred years old and
yet it sounds very fresh because it is perfectly
relevant to our modern reality. I like it. It clearly
demonstrates that although people would talk
about changing the world, they would not really
mean it.
And since they do want to change themselves, I
assume that they want the word to fit into their
personal perception instead. Perhaps it would not
such pressing issue if not an alarming rise of
sentiments which cannot be qualified other that
racism.

It is not difficult to spot a racist because he or she would
clearly express views which are not just inappropriate
but also should be criminalised. Racists’ look has
specific anti-charm. Maybe it is the reason they all look
alike as siblings who were given birth by the same
parents with a very long history of alcohol abuse and
drug additions.
Racists clearly manifest symptoms of either slow or
complete absence of intellectual development. These
“brothers and sisters” are filled with severe hatred for
anyone and everything different from what they think
shall not have the right to exist.
However, it is not as simple to identify those who
mastered the ability to camouflage. This category of
people represents a much larger layer of a society.
Somehow, they understand that although radical views
are becoming increasingly acceptable, it is still not
included in the list of items that would describe a
positive image.

These people adopted a wait-and-see position.
Nevertheless, once the environment is right, they will rip
off their disguise and show the true nature in its all
ugliness.
I assume that they were polishing their skill to
camouflage long enough to make it close to perfect. But
thanks to the Law of Imperfection that Mother Nature
has adopted long before humans have emerged, these
people are not able to hide their true nature for long.
This dark side is an integral part of their inner world and
it will eventually force them to start showing the huge
mismatch between words and actions. My experience
suggests that if we pay attention, we may see a few main
signs that could help us to recognise hidden racists.
Just like their out-of-closet relatives, they do not respect
intellectual evolution. Although they have attended
school and a significant number of them have
certificates to confirm university degree, it is obvious
that the way they perceive events does not qualify them
as educated in the original meaning of this word.
Typically, they would have a poor vocabulary and you
may sense that they are struggling to express what they
mean.

Due to their grossly underestimated assessment of
intelligence, the representative of this one-shade-of-
grey group have adopted a false vision that can be
summarised as follows: “IT IS ONLY REAL IF I WANT TO
ACCEPT IT AS A REALITY.” Anything which does not fit
into their extremely narrow understanding of life would
be considered as something of alien and hostile nature.
Surprisingly, almost all of them would try to create an
impression that they are dissent citizens with high moral
values. They would appear to be very religious people
who follow everything that religion teaches them to do.
I believe they managed to fool intelligent people because
they know precisely rules of manipulation. They will
always use this skill to ensure that the cover looks good.
They have a very specific way to identify themselves.
They often use either religion or citizenship to highlight
that they are the most positive individuals and they start
a sentence by saying: “As a good (representative of their
religion), I…” or “As a good citizen, I ….”. I suspect that
they specifically mention religion and/or citizenship
because subconsciously they think it automatically
makes them a better person.
They seldom identify themselves with people because,
possibly, in their mind, it takes away the unfounded and

wrong perception that they belong to the best of the
best. Their assessment of either other nation, race,
religion, or any anything else which is different from
their way of life would be heavily generalised.
Without knowledge and clear understanding, they blame
representatives of different religion or race or
nationality for all troubles that they face. They do not
consider such approach as unreasonable labelling. Any
attempt to explain that facts indicate otherwise will be
rejected straight away.
Most of these closeted relatives of open racists,
recognise Fox News and any of its spinoffs as the main
and only source of information. Any other channels of
the media will be qualified as either fake or propaganda.
However, when asked why they are so sure about it,
most likely, the response will contain no factual
evidence to validate their view.
These people also deny climate change and confidently
express views that it is nothing but exaggeration by
scientists. It would never occur to them that for
scientists to come up with the conclusion, it is an
absolute requirement to obtain a wide range of facts that
would confirm the real nature of the climate change.

They do not understand that scientists worked on this
issue for many decades collecting every bit of evidence
to ensure that the result is beyond a reasonable doubt.
The one-shade-of-grey would display a poorly covered
dislike of Barak Obama and blame him for all
misfortunes without any exceptions. Any factual
evidence to suggest otherwise is immediately
dismissed.
They aggressively oppose any attempts to reform sale of
guns by claiming that the second amendment is
sacrosanct and, therefore, it shall never be changed.
They are convinced that the second amendment
represents all their rights and with the change, the
government will take them away.
These people are always loud about their rights only.
They never talk about their obligations. I assume that
they do not consider obligations as something important
because they do not see themselves obliged to do
anything. After all, this world shall fit into their views.
It is important to remember that it is still not too late
because the virus of racism does not fully affect this
impressive number of people.

However, if representatives of the progressive part of
humans will do nothing, eventually favourable
environment will ensure their transformation. I do not
know what exactly needs to be done, but I assume that
the following could be helpful for a start:
 We shall not turn away when closeted racists begin
to voice their opinion. They are still concerned
about social image. Therefore, if we make it clear
that any intolerance is unacceptable, it might make
them stop being loud.
 Mass media, including social media, shall not
provide them with a platform. Because by doing so
we are assisting evil to rise. TV shows shall stop
inviting them to give an interview. Because
discussion requires the presence of opinions. They
do not have any opinion because they do not have
any knowledge.
 Those who may argue that democracy requires
freedom of expression shall keep in mind that
democracy also requires a great deal of

responsibility. These people do not have the sense
of responsibility.
It is vital for all of us to remember that the more powerful
they get, the fewer chances we must remain free. It
happened before and it will happen again if normal
people would not respond appropriately and prevent it
from happening.
Despite a commonly accepted opinion that only white
people represent this closeted group, it does not reflect
the true picture. This virus exists in every society
regardless of race or geographic location.
Early intervention could be very effective as I still hope
that most of those who have reached a borderline
condition could be cured of their mental illness and
returned as healthy and functional members of the
society.
