If a racist goes blind, who wll they hate?
Obviously they will still have their previous beliefs, but will they mean as much now that skin colour is not a factor that they can readily identify? Will their lack of vision open their minds towards all people, for who they are and not because of the tone of their skin or will they still hate someone just for the sake of hating, even when they can't tell the difference ?

African features include wider noses and larger lips.
Eastern include slanted eyes.
Arabs also have larger noses but not so large lips.
Voices also tend to be distinctive.
Blindness wouldn't eliminate their ability to tell the difference, it would just change how they do it. Besides, one can be racist never having seen or met the object of one's hatred. It's an idea that is hated, not an individual.

My grandfather was blind since the age of two years old. God rest his soul, but the man was a racist. I've heard him let loose with a string of racial slurs that would make your skin crawl. I can still remember his rants about the "n words" that were stealing from him and every white person they could catch on the street. Then, he suddenly took up with a crazy black woman who made us call her "Ma Henry". She would get in our faces and swear she wasn't black because she had blue eyes. She did. And she smelled bad. The latter I would not have known had she not forced herself within inches of my face, but I digress... She also had Don King style hair. We cut them both some slack because they clearly had mental issues. When he died she cleaned him out, but since he didn't own anything worth keeping, it was a favor to the family more than theft.
Sadly, I am not making any of this up.

Excellent point...they could hate people by the sound of their voice...accents can be hated as well as physical features. Someone determined to feel superior to someone else, can always find a reason.

When a racist cant tell who to be racist against, they usually turn their anger outward toward EVERYONE. Since they cant distinguish who to hate, they would probably hate everyone instead of hating no one.
