OK maybe they do the same in the UK, I don't know. I just felt perplexed when reading the OP, because unless you literally have never seen a person with different colour skin to you before, there's no reason to be racist. When I see a black or Asian person I barely notice their colour skin. I just see them as a person. I subconsciously notice their colour skin of course, because it's part of their appearance, but not enough to think anything differently about them.
Although I don't like extreme political correctness, I still am not racist. I just want everything to be equal. Not one race should get more privileged than another. We're all humans and nobody should be made to feel like a freak just because of their colour skin. In my city it's so normal to have different races that nobody bats an eye.
Hopefully, in your city,
most people don't bat an eye. But, even in cosmopolitan cities like London and NYC, it's clearly not true that "nobody" bats an eye.
