I'd say the appointment of Bannon is potentially the most significant indication he may be a racist. But the point remains that people have been screaming RACIST at him throughout the entire campaign which overlooks his more overt failings/incompetencies and potentially weakens the power of condemnation for if/when an actual open racist does get close to power...

Maybe he hasn't appointed Bannon because he's a racist. He could just have easily appointed him because he's a homophobe or a misogynist and the racism is purely incidental.

Here's the thing though, affording power to someone who is a racist, or any other form of bigot, doesn't make you that bigot, it just means you're the kind of asshat that doesn't care if other people are bigots. There's plenty of other evidence that Trump is a racist though so we don't have to depend on the appointment of Bannon which is sloppy evidence at best.
