I myself am British. I live in South America though and here I get a lot of racist comments - Gringo, Ghost, Casper, Snow White, Blondie etc. If I'm honest, I don't like it. I've never been a racist. I've never tried to make anyone feel bad about their race or religion. But I don't let it get to me. I've heard the comments before and if someone is really trying to antagonize me, I ask them if "Snow White" is the best they can come up with. 
What's ironic is that racism still exists in the UK, but I'd never been a victim of it. Only since I arrived in South America have I had racism in my life. But if people are that immature to try to keep racism alive in this day and age, then I have no time for them. Nor would I usually give them a response. 
I've NEVER thought of myself as above someone else because of my color. I have occasionally thought that regarding intelligence, but never color. I think racism will die out in about 250 years, but until then it's a sad truth that it's still here and we can only lead by example to eradicate it one day at a time.
