    An easy way to pick out racists in the modern day is if they just casually call black people “blacks.” It seems to be one of the words that, although it’s not used by non-racists, hasn’t been phased out by some of the less explicit racists yet in the way “colored people” has.

      Yeah, dead giveaway, they saw “black people” and removed “people” in their head so the verbiage is bound to follow.
