• A type of racism where people dont appear on the surface to themselves to be racist but advantage by and may support racist policy and [institutional racism]. A asymptomatic racist may justify such behavior under another guise of supporting policies such as [law and order] (to support LE officers [profiling], selective enforcement of laws, brutal and [inhumane] police tactics), the right to protect ones self when threatened by people who are stereotyped as threatening, to win the [war on drugs], and to assure people dont have unfair employment opportunities, against welfare because it destroys the incentive to work, assume some people are characteristically inferior, unfair business practices that target minorities, living in like minded highly segregated communities, etc.
    Another asymptomatic symptom is when they do not say anything or attempt to prevent racist practices, and often have a personal benefit from allowing them to continue.
    In some cases asymptomatic racism may be highly viable to the victims but not to those of the same race. For example, when someone touches their wallet when they see a minority, when a black person is not invited to a party because they may not fit in, when a person of another race is not given a supervisor position because of potential conflicts.
