There was a story a long time ago I was told this by and older relative that he did not like any women of color he sort of thought they were not attractive at all. When i say women of color i mean Hispanics, Latino, Black, etc. He only thought white women were up to his standards. (i am hispanic) I heard this same story somewhere else too. I really don't know but in those days i wouldn't doubt it.
Definitely not...he admitted that he was influenced by African American blues artists, and a lot of other black celebrities (including James Brown, Muhammad Ali, Jackie Wilson, B.B. King, etc.) had a lot of respect for him and there are several photos of him with a lot of them. So I highly doubt it...
Not in the least. He learned music from watching black men play, he once bought a black man a cadillac because he saw him walking. so no, he was not racist.

He was inspired by blues and saw black folks sing and play good music. Elvis was inspired by good old fashioned Jazz!
