Cultures perhaps.

Color (s) make not a spit of difference. (in my experience, all across this country, except the Deep South)

A person of any "color", adopting and adapting to a different culture can generally do well in that culture.

Grandpa came from Sicily and had the job as a young man of going to family gatherings and speaking only English. Telling the relatives they were in a new country and we speak English here. How did they expect to do business with the Irish ice man (yes, it was a long time ago), Jewish deli owner, German baker, Polish butcher, etc.
