First thing I notice is if they are really there. If they are indeed there and not a pigment of my imagination then I try not to run into them
Or accidentally drive over them.

Then I move onto other criteria like boobs

That's just not even racist, that's prejudiced. If you notice their race, immediately judge them on it, and refuse to change your opinion when presented information contrary to your jdugement, that's racist.

Too bad more people cannot tell the difference between being prejudiced vs. racist.

We all have prejudices*. Not everyone is racist#.

and don't forget bigot, some people are just bigots
A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from their own or intolerant of people of different political views, ethnicity, race, class, religion, profession, sexuality or gender.
Bigotry is the state of mind of a "bigot," a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one who exhibits intolerance or animosity toward members of a group.[1] Bigotry may be based on real or perceived characteristics, including sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, nationality, region, language, religious or spiritual belief, political alignment, age, economic status or disability.

No but once I hear them talk, I can pretty much tell your their whole personality after two sentences.

Maybe that makes me a bad person or maybe I talk to ~800 people a month and am a really good judge of character. I still don't know but I think that it's a different thread....

I think you are fighting the wrong battle in this being one that brags about you and your son farting in public especially in closed environments.

If I had my way, you'd be no longer in this country.
