Do you privately, inside your own thoughts, ever use the word 'racist' to describe yourself?

For sure. I notice lots of tribalistic, racist and sexist prejudices in my own thinking. I try to catch them before they manifest in behaviour but I imagine there's stuff that falls through.

Here's the thing I was raised by some pretty racist family...I fight the urges to slip into that mindset...I know the weaknesses I have...I'm no racist but realize you have to work not to be one...

I voted no because I don't use the noun "racist" to describe myself, but I do try to be conscious of adjective "racist" language or implicit bias that I may use or employ.

I don't think one race is inferior to another. Hence, I'm not a racist. Simple.

No, occasionally odd thoughts pop into my head which are inappropriate, but I learned long ago that people are not their thoughts.
