Do You Have Any Racists In Your Family?

I would change that just a tad to become "Someone who regularly disparages those of a race different than themselves without just or legitimate cause".

A very, very good distinction.
 

We all are racists. We do separate the world into "us" and "them". We have to be constantly on guard to not let our racist views be put into actions. And yes, we are born racists. If you work at McDonalds, they are "US"; Burgerking is "THEM". It's innate.
 
The definition of racist isn't clear. If you're violently opposed to someone of another race it's pretty clear, but if there's one thing you dislike about a race in general it's not clear. We try to treat all people kindly, but under that outward appearance will be perceived notions about that race that is ingrained in your brain and it can't be smoothed out in a short time. I think people are unfairly accused of being racist like it's a switch that's flipped off or on. We're people, not machines. I overlook anything that doesn't prove itself in your actions. Just because I think I could kill you doesn't make me a killer.
