Was Katherine Hepburn racist

Answer 1

Katharine [note the correct spelling of her first name] Hepburn did not have a life-long sexual attraction to other females. Her 45 year romantic affair with Spencer Tracy, as well as her much shorter dalliance with Howard Hughes, should make that obvious.

Close associate William Mann, in a publicity tour for his book, stated the following in an interview:

Q: "You say that, after some of these terrible breakups she had with the men in her life, you say, 'She would retreat to the comforting embrace of the community of women.' Did she have serious female romances?"

WM: "Absolutely. But at the same time, sex itself was never a real defining aspect of any relationship in her life, whether with men or with women. It was really about, for her, she found she preferred the companionship of women and the nurturance of women, but her great passions, even if they didn't include sex, were always reserved for men."

Answer 2

Yes, because although she at one time played a woman who endorsed her white daughter with a black man she herself never decided to be with a black man in a relationship.
