One whom denies their racist tendencies can still, in fact, be racist. Most are not immune to the hateful thoughts influenced by stereotypes, or biased media reports.

If they associate themselves with a minority group, then they are presumably given grounds to make racist comments. This way of thinking is a fallacy. Back in the time of Jim Crow, and the saying “separate but equal” are congruent with this way of thinking.
