# racist
is not meant as a blanket term for those who feel superior to everyone not of their race.
A racist can quite easily choose to be selective in his choice of which man is less worthy.

Powell was very clearly intolerant of West Indians or ( wide-grinning piccaninnies as he is on record as calling them, something he attempted to sue newspapers over but later dropped because he had not a shred of evidence for his feeble excuse of 'quoting a constituent')
Like many of the right of his day. They were happy that the 'Windrush' folk saved Britain from economic meltdown after the war but come the late 60's when it was all fixed again they found it distasteful to have 'these people' having the same right to the same benefits as 'us people'.
