"Overt" means out in the open. Overt racism is out in the open for all to see. A sign saying "No Scotsmen allowed in this restaurant" is overtly racist.
The opposite of overt is covert. Covert racism is when there is no sign on the door, but when the Scotsman gets to it, the maitre d says "I'm sorry sir, but we don't allow people in who are not wearing trousers." Nothing is said about his being a Scotsman, but he's kept out anyway.
