the thing that I'm single-minded about is racism.
If someone were to ask me, "So, Janet, got any plans for the 4th of July?" I'm subject to answer, "Yeah, I'm going to binge-watch 'Roots.'"
"I'm subject to" means what?
I have to?
I'm going to?

The expression ''be subject to (do) (something)'' means the same as ''be prone to (do) (something)''. You use this idiom in a sentence to say that you are likely to do something or that you are apt to have something.
As for the context that you provided, the idea conveyed is that the person is most likely to/inclined to answer ''Yeah, I'm going to binge-watch Roots'' should they ever be asked something related to the 4th of july.
Here are some other examples that may help you:
1) ''Whenever I invite her out, she is subject to say ''Oh sorry, but I am busy today.''
2) ''These games are subject to have a rise in their prices by the end of the month''.
3) ''I am afraid our vacation plans are subject to change''.
Hope that helps!!! :)
