Morphology

race + realist

The compound is directly compositional: 'race' (racial groups) combined with 'realist' (a person taking a pragmatic or accepting stance) yields someone who is 'realist' about race — i.e., believes there are real/important racial differences. A B1 learner who knows both constituents can reliably infer this core meaning, though they may not grasp the political or controversial connotations and debates that surround the term.

Etymology

Race realist comes from joining race and realist, making the picture of a person who says racial differences are truly 'real'. Today the label is used for people who claim there are built-in differences between races and present that view as 'fact', which many people disagree with.
