I'm seeing it the same way. I grew up in an area of the country where racism was rampant and I didn't know it until I was 10 and brought home my new friend who was a black girl. My parents were divorced. My mom didn't care, but my dad lectured me and it was the first time I'd ever heard that skin color made you different. It's never phased me because I trusted my mom rather than my abusive father.

I live in a part of the country, now, where there are people of all races and cultures living in my apartment complex. We smile and say "hi" to one another. I am so glad I've not been exposed to all that micro aggression crap I keep hearing about. I smile and meet everyone's eyes when I pass. My team at work is all kinds of people and I just had to stop to think about it lol. It just so doesn't matter in day to day life, at least not to me. I assume it's that way for most people that I interact with.

I guess we are the only ones not bogged down in racial turmoil.

Lol. Certainly seems like it if you talk to my mom who watches lots of news reports.
