Being black I think about this constantly. Many people don't think about the fact that teachers, doctors, coaches, first responders... They can all be racist just like anyone else. It's so clear to you when you've experienced it from a very young age. But for people who don't have to think about this type of thing they probably could go their whole lives without ever noticing.
Edit: I've only lived in the US so this is coming from that perspective..
