No, everyone is not "a little bit racist". There is no such thing as "a little bit racist".
Everyone has prejudices, biases, and varying levels of ignorance.
Racism is about power at the individual and, most often, structural levels. Racism is the ability to negatively impact, discriminate, impose, and/or force.
Racism often includes but does not require prejudice. Prejudice often results in but does not inevitably lead to racism.
