A very subtle kind of racism, usually visible through body-language and mannerisms when handling people of other races. Someone who will not call a black person the “N” word, but will refuse to live near or around black people. Someone who complains about more minorities in movies. A person who feels uncomfortable when a young minority walks into a store and they immediately assume he/she is there to shoplift or assault them.
“Why is that movie showing a rich white woman falling in love with a poor black man? That doesn’t happen in real life.”
“Hey man, you low-key racist.”
“Hey man, you low-key racist.”

Someone who catches you off guard with extremely racists comments, that you would never expect them to say. They are usually the nicest people you know, and parade around as sane members of society. The most unfortunate part, they don't even know it.
Dude 1: " Did you hear what that newscaster just said about all of the emigrants entering the country"?
Dude 2: " Yeah man, it was really uncalled for. He must be a low-key racist."
