Everyone is biased. Everyone makes assumptions based on their own experiences and upbringing. There's few things that are absolutely true, but that's one of them. Show me someone who claims to be non-racist or free of any and all preconceived notions about every other group of human beings and I'll show you a liar. My goal is to recognize that it's there, and strive to work around it the best I can using my own set of values and ethics. But tossing around the "r" word is otherwise pointless since it's ubiquitous, although it's more obvious with certain people interacting with certain other people. I don't get upset if someone calls me a "racist" (especially in the current political climate, when it gets tossed around as casually as saying someone's a "yankees fan"), but I do try to figure out what motivated them to say that. If it's because of something I said or did, was their anything overtly wrong, or a misperception on their part? Were they simply chain-pulling? Sounds complicated, takes very little time and effort. I certainly have no problem calling politicians on either extreme of the political spectrum bigots. They all are.
