A person may not be racist. But if they do racist things, and they refuse to correct those things once it is pointed out, then what conclusion can be drawn?
Hmm, I guess I don't follow. Racism is defined as prejudice against someone of another race. I don't see how a person's assessment can be racist if it had nothing to do with any sort of prejudice against another race.
A person may not be a racist (meaning they may not overtly hate another race) but they can still do racist things, or follow a racist ideology.
If you lean a certain way politically, and dogmatically follow a racist revision of history, you may not be a racist, but not correcting yourself when someone points out to you how the revision of history that is being purported by Nazis, white supremacists, the KKK, Donald Trump, and white nationalists is objectively racist, and your political dogmas are more important than your desire not to act or believe in a racist way....
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
