I struggle with this too. What I'm thinking (hah) at the moment is that I want to try and stop thinking in racist ways, because then I can be much more confident that I'm not _acting_ in racist ways. I mean, I'm not sure how good my control over my face and body language is, so maybe I _am_ showing my racist responses in dealing with people, even though I don't want to have those responses or to show them. Or I'll react in some racially-charged situation using the wrong instincts, before I can realize what I'm doing.
