racist adj. & n

I seem to recall kicking  off my comments on this topic by stating that  "I 
wouldn't go so far as to brand the POTUS a racist." Actually wrote it down. 
That said, I don't see anything in the above definition that disqualifies 
anyone based on the color of their relatives skin. Where do you come by this 
quaint notion?
