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.
