I think there's a lot of truth to that.
Which is why I have ambivalent feelings about the strong emphasis our modern society puts behind demonizing racism and other prejudices like homophobia, anti-semitism etc. Since everyone wants to think of himself as a good guy, without real insight I think it simply leads to many people denying to themselves that they have a tendency for these feelings as well. The result will look great on the surface, everyone will claim to be non-racist etc., but in practice the result might even be counter-productive.
