Soft Racism 

When someone (often an old foreigner) says something with a soft racial undertone about another race that is not meant to be derogatory but often comes out in a way that may make others slightly uncomfortable and slightly embarrassed yet sympathetic for said old person.

Often it is because of a difference in social and cultural norms that they say something softly racist.

Older foreigner: "When I was in India they were all shaking their heads left to right instead of up and down when they agreed with me. It was crazy" *does weird head motion* (cultural thing)

Young western people in room: "uhmm..err...hmm..i see"*feeling a weird uncomfortable combo of awkwardness and humour*

Young Indian guy in room: "Ha ha ya thats us alright" (slight awkward feeling of being caught off guard with some soft racism)

Soft Racist 

Someone whom makes racist statements or remarks amongst their own kind (or family; friends), never in the presence of those the slurs would clearly offend. In some cases the offending party may actually have some friends (even family) of color, etc. but they never talk or act that way in front of them.

1. The grandparents and mom at Thanksgiving dinner talking about how the coloreds are ruining everything. Later my mom expresses her excitement at going shopping with Kathy, her black friend from work, on Black Friday.

2. The Coloreds are ruining this country, stealing everything they can get their hands on... I can't wait to go shopping with Letoya later this weekend!

3. Jon is a soft racist infront of his kids, and only his kids. I wonder how they'll turn out.
