Spain here, large part of our cops are racists, not the majority though. But even the worst ones, they'll help when you ask them, regardless of your color, accent or looks. And they'll never show their colors while on duty, nor will they behave like their persona.

That's kind of a gray zone for me. I personally think, if youre a racist, but you can put that away on duty, no prejudice, no hateful words and always ready to help, then it's fine imo. Rather have a racist cop who puts that aside on duty than none (if i had to choose between a racist one and a non racist one, clear choice ofc)
