Oddly satirical, he may see things in black and white (9)

I believe the answer is:

racialist

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'he may see things in black and white' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'oddly satirical' is the wordplay.
'oddly' is an anagram indicator.
'satirical' with letters rearranged gives 'RACIALIST'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for racialist that I've seen is " discriminating character".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
