when "confronted": and clarified of his/her bigotry towards you, manage to quip a "I am sorry - I never meant that - actually I am NOT racist but..."
Cut the crap there - a crow by no other name is sweet- "racism is racism" - no matter how you cloak it - when you do conduct yourself in this line - just acknowldedge it plain and simple "Yes - I want to be racist towards you coz I dislike you for whatsoever reasons"- for God's sake don't say "racism doesn't exist" -
I'm really annoyed by people who try to "dress down" the impact of racism using facelift excuses, "it's not racism, maybe prejudice". It doesn't take a Grade 7 kid to understand that "prejudice directed at an individual on the basis of color, race, religion or language" is racism - period.
Most times, victims of racial abuse are more than willing to forgive the abuser with a simple "sorry" - that's all it takes an empathetic iunderstanding of the other fellow who feels victimised not PC reassurances.

I suspect one reason there is this kind of conflict is that many people today are ultra sensitive, and every perceived affront becomes "racism"
If I dislike someone because of his religion, it is not racism. It may be bigotry - it may also be that I strongly disagree with the theology and/or the practice of that particular group. Or the way that particular person practices it. It is NOT racism - even if that person is Black and I am not.
We are rapidly approaching a state where we will not be "allowed" to dislike anyone or anything, to disagree with what someone else wants to do - for fear of being called "racist."
I dislike loud music played in public places by young people carrying radios and cd players with speakers attached. I find it offensive and objectionable. If those young people are black - and in my experience, most engaging in this behavior are - and I object, am I racist? No, I just don't feel they have the right to inflict their music at loud volume on everyone else.
I lived in Africa for a number of years, and I have no problem about speaking out against some of the cultural practices that are there. Does that make me racist? If it does - in your eyes - too bad. I refuse to accept the label, and I will continue to speak out against killing twin babies, and circumsizing young girls.
Not every criticism - not every thing someone dislikes - not every argument or confrontation - is racist. And to try and suggest that it is cheapens what ought to be a serious charge, and generalizes what is a very specific and still present problem.

In the answer you stated in the beginning had an I am sorry. They probably feel like they should explain themselves. Have you ever stopped to think you might be racist or have a preconceived idea of what their answer means? Not everyone you come across is a terrible person. Take each person for who THEY are not what society makes them out to be or a pre-conceived notion tells you they are saying something everyone else says.My family and I don't look at race, color, religion, etc. We form an idea from the person themselves and I think society has gotten way off that concept.

Zimmerman stood his ground when he was attacked, shortly after Trayvon called him a creepy cracka. Zimmerman knew there had been other recent break ins by hooded black guys. Can anyone remember that OJ walked free after killing two crackas but the black community celebrated his not guilty verdict. Black people set their double standards out for the world to see and deny everything in plain site that they do wrong.

It`s not always skin colour that gets peoples backs up. Sometimes it`s the way that certain groups conduct themselves according to their religion or culture that's annoying and frustrating.

You have serious issues with self-esteem, don't you?
Seek professional help.
This is not racism, just a friendly suggestion.
