The series was created, produced, and originally released here in the US, so a US perspective is appropriate for this material. And yes, here in the US race is much more pervasive and more significant. We fought a horrible, bloody civil war over it. It literally tore our country apart.
And yes, I was referring to the first episode only. I have no idea how long they continued that racism. That short segment you posted seems to show some reflection on the part of writers, which is good. Maybe they got the memo.
Racism is generally socially unacceptable, so it's usually hidden. Writers, producers and directors don’t do it openly, they hide it so that it influences the audience unconsciously. So if one is “color blind” and they don’t see race, then they can’t see racism either.
With regard to projection, frankly you have know idea what goes on in my head, we’ve never met as far as know, and we’ve only had a few interactions here, so to declare my psychological state is extremely presumptuous. I was commenting on what appeared on the screen in that first episode. That’s it. And it was racially biased.
