Exactly.
One can avoid adhering to any particular political ideology and still say things that are racist, be capable of actions that are racist etc.
Say, someone like Sting battling against the destruction of the amazonic forest is an unconscious racist stance, in that he's using a personal cause that he has at heart without thinking of what the consequences of what he has in mind would have in the area, with locals becoming jobless as a result. He obviously doesn't mean it to be a racist thing, yet his propaganda is potentially racist.
