I don't mean to be condescending but have you traveled much to other countries? I spent 3 years traveling across South America and most people there just take it as obvious that darker skinned people are lesser humans. I made friends with dark skin people who casually dropped in conversation that they wish they weren't so inferior, that's how internalized the racism is.
Racism is a deeply held in/out-group identifier in humans. Western education tries to confront that and fails in many ways but really you should appreciate your education in a broader context. This isn't just an appeal to whataboutism because the US is actively trying to promote multiculturalism in a way that just doesn't happen in many other countries.
