Hmmm... looking at my handy-dandy online dictionary, racist as a noun dates back to 1919 while racist as a adjective dates back to 1923. Lately there has been quite a bit of discussion as to whether using the noun or the adjective is better. Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing as the Bard put it.

It doesn't appear to have done so, at least not in print:
