Should I take this a ignorance or a form of race paranoia?
I was having a discussion with my flat mate Louisa of my movie night with my friend Zoe who is Middle Class English girl, who pretty much lives in a bubble but she is nice girl, so I was just discussing how her reactions were towards my other friend who is big black urban boy who was also at my movie night. the black boy is also from middle class background.

Anyway's I was telling the story in a joking way, and my flatmate Louisa has had more experiences with people of different cultures, although her school was middle class school, she experienced some urban culture, so she asked in the middle of story I was telling her "why do black people treat white people so different" which at the time I had thought on that question finding it strange.

I think that question was ignorant as I've experience here in the UK, white people are often treating people of colour as "others" or as if their ways are normal and better, practise institutional racism, which is personal, keeping people segregated then when they see something they like such as food, music, entertainment it becomes we're all one people,

Now this is not how majority of White people act or think, I don't believe you can ignorant due to skin colour but its due to upbringing, beliefs, environments and so on.
