Blatant racism is a thing, especially online and in gaming. They are literally building a whites-only town in Arkansas.
The areas of the US that mainly were oppressing Native Americans have colorblindness as their main mode of racism, bc they were trying to genocide Natives. So never allowing talk of race and forcing assimilation is what colorblindness is.
The areas of the US that had more black slaves have more explicit blatant racism, because the entire point in the past was to grow the black slave population and keep them in their place.
