This is a good explanation of chirality but I think the parent meant to say enantiomer instead of racemate:

enantiomer refers to each mirror image of the molecule. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enantiomer

racemate refers to a 50-50 mix of the two enantiomers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racemic_mixture
