1. My mom owned a travel agency when I was in high school

and one of the agents went to this African country where almost 100% of the people there were black. This woman had very light hair and skin. She was walking down the street when a little girl saw her and started screaming! The little girl had never saw a white woman before and she was terrified!

The woman was not offended as the little girl was just innocent and reacting to something that scared her. But I remember everyone laughing about it.

Of course that is different than people having ignorant beliefs as adults.
