Great! Nothing from Kennedy was racist (7)
I believe the answer is:
bigoted
'racist' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'great nothing from kennedy' is the wordplay.
'great' becomes 'big' (similar in meaning).
'nothing' becomes 'o' (looks like zero - 0).
'from' says to put letters next to each other.
'kennedy' becomes 'ted'.
'big'+'o'+'ted'='BIGOTED'
'was' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bigoted that I've seen before include "I go into debt, being prejudiced" , "Dogmatic" , "Illiberal" , "Prejudiced and intolerant" , "Not to be persuaded" .)
