Crossword Genius

Get racist drunk, as planned (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strategic

'planned' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'get racist drunk' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'get'+'racist'='getracist'
'getracist' with letters rearranged gives 'STRATEGIC'.

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for strategic that I've seen before include "Tactical" , "Relating to long-term plans" , "To do with a carefully workedout plan of action" , "Forming part of a long-term plan" , "Of long-term planning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
