I like to think that I would be against racism even if I was completely surrounded by racists, just as I am an outspoken atheist who is basically completely surrounded by theists.

I believe you are underestimating the human mind. I am quite certain primitive man dropped into modern society would learn to adapt.

As long as a human being is not being subjugated at the expense of another human, then what is being done is clearly ethically proper.

What's your definition of subjugation?
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
