What is an example of hypocrisy in racism?

Answer 1

when someone tells you that they love your shoes (or something) and then you heard from a friend that the same person told her that she doesn't like your shoes. A hypocrite is someone who tells you something and then tells someone else the exact diferrent thing.

The above answer is not an example of someone being a hypocrite, but a liar.

In order to be a hypocrite you have to profess the importance of a certain action or belief while not actually practising it yourself.

In the above example, the person would be a hypocrite if she told her friends that lying was wrong and then went off and lied herself.

Answer 2

Hypocrisy is basically when someone does something and tells other people not to do it. A mother who smokes but tells her children not to smoke is an example.

Answer 3

A person who says they quit smoking, but turns around and starts smoking.
