"You're the real racist" is the cry of people called out on racism. By recognizing racism for what it is, you are acknowledging the existence of race. That means you are saying people of different races are different from each other, you racist.

Similar reasoning can be used to identify the true bearers of sexism, homophobia, and other forms of bigotry.

One common way for real racists to show their hands is by recognizing and condemning dog whistles. Anyone who spots the subtle references to racial stereotypes is aware of them, and one can only conclude they believe them.
