4. Give them plenty of rope and let them tie their own noose.
Ok, a noose analogy is bad in this context, but my point is that I don't think we have to worry too much. Just let them act like racist assholes and we'll take the votes of white moderates who are repulsed by the ugly side of conservatism. Just be ready to point and laugh at how ugly the racists in the GOP are when they reveal themselves.

The trick is not doing it too often. People will burn out and ignore accusations of racism if every little comment is called racist even when most white people can't understand what's racist about it.
