Personally, anything above low level of racism (basically stereotyping; asians are smart, black people can run fast) would put me off.
A bit of my own experience I'm afraid. I like to think that I'm as non-racist as you can get.
My wife is certainly no raving racist but does come out with the odd comment and it really annoys me and I tell her off for it, but then I think she is only normal and most people come out with the odd comment here and there.
I just want to make sure my kids don't turn into great big bigots. If they do, I'll have to kick them out.

How racist would your partner have to be before you leave her? Post #7
I'd hope it would be something I'd notice before things got serious enough for them to be my girlfriend. However, for arguements sake, if we had been together for a while, I'd probably let most of it pass I fear. My Dad is horrifically racist and I forever just laugh it off and dismiss it, and I think I'd do the same for a partner. It really would depend on the level of racism though, as I've never been around more than stereotyping and stuff said behind folks backs.
