Scout was far from racist. She seems accepting of everyone, and had a good understand of how society worked at that time, yet through a child's eyes, you can see that she's aware of the fact that the world just isn't fair, and she's trying to figure out why. She learns that at a young age.

It would be just about impossible to escape Maycom, Alabama without some racisim forced into you, but because Atticus treats everyone with respect, Scout is probably less affected than the rest of her community. She goes to a Black church with no reservations. She watches Tom Robinson's trial from the balcony with the Black audience; she feels anger at Tom Robinson's conviction and sorrow at his death. That is evidence that she has some fewer feelings of racism. However, she accepts Calpurnia's being a servant and the Blacks' living in "the quarters" as being just part of the way things are, so the lessons of racism have been taught and to a degree learned by Scout.
