simple answer: A racist is a person who believes that his/her race is better than any other/others race/races.
long answer: he term racism is sometimes used to refer to preference for one's own ethnic group (ethnocentrism),[2] fear of foreigners (xenophobia), views or preferences against interbreeding of the races (miscegenation),[3] and nationalism,[4], and/or a generalization of a specific group of people (stereotype); regardless of any explicit belief in superiority or inferiority embedded within such views or preferences. Racism has been used in attempts to justify social discrimination, racial segregation and violence, including genocide. Politicians are known to practice race-baiting in an effort to win constituents.
The term racist, when used to describe someone who supports racism, has been a pejorative term since at least the 1940s, and the identification of a group or person as racist is nearly always controversial.

for me racist is a person that for his own personal reasons or for lack
of information doesn't like another race,because their color,their believes or their religion,but end up having to accept them around
because part of society that are afraid to say what they really think say it is wrong.
