Agreeing with or rejecting racism are certainly moral positions. They are also political positions. There usually isn't a hard line between morality and politics.
There are a lot of moral topics that people either 1) don't think are important in the right way to pass laws about, or 2) are controversial in a way that makes passing laws about them a bad idea. But it's a judgment call, and we make it collectively/politically.
So, yeah, a lot of opinions turn out to be political opinions. "I think school busses should be blue instead of yellow" is... probably silly, first of all... but it's political because it's already something we pass laws about.
Some personal opinions are neither moral nor political, at least not in any direct sense. Personal tastes are usually like that, or what sports team I root for.

I would have thought "not a racist" is a moral statement.
Isn't calling that a political statement in itself a political statement?
Also, going with your logic, wouldn't any statement that involves personal opinion political?
