I guess I have a bit of trouble with the way this is phrased.

The idea that people are consistently racist is flawed. The most manipulative of racists of them all, the closet racist, knows when to turn that s*** off. They act like perfectly socially adjusted (non-racist) individuals when they know they can gain something from it — i.e. a job interview, a promotion, political standing, a home in a great neighborhood. These people are the most insidious racists I know.

As I understand it, racism is a state of mind, not a behavior. So a person who behaves in a racist way toward ONE person is by definition racist, even if they HIDE their racism from some people.
Just clarifying, not instructing...
