I think you are describing biases, which we do indeed all have. They don't (necessarily) make you racist, they make you human. The folks who refuse to make any attempt to acknowledge that (or who openly revel in it), and won't do the work to mitigate those biases - those are the racists and bigots.

Right. I'm just saying that statements can be racist, but that doesn't necessarily make me racist because it all comes down to intent. I want people to call me out because it's not my intention to say racist things.
