And yeah, racism based on skin colour doesn't seem to be a thing - I suppose it's less likely to develop when skin colours vary so wildly from person to person in a way that doesn't always seem to be genetic - although they have their own prejudices like a seemingly universal distrust of Duskwights. That seems to come from a stereotype of the race's behaviour rather than their appearance.

(And I've never quite liked the implications of the term "people of colour" either. Not that I'm classed as one, so I can't speak for using it as identity, and I get that it's meant to be balancing the societal problem that there is an imbalance between "white people" and others but I don't feel like boiling it down to "white people" and "all the rest" is much more flattering. So many cultures and varieties of people reduced to "of colour". If anything it perpetuates the us-versus-them instead of just talking about cultural diversity that includes everyone together.)
