Contrary to misconceptions race and ethnicity-based cluelessness and ignorance increase with racial and ethnic diversity.
This can happen for two reasons or a combination:
1. Presumed familiarity can breed "some of my best friends are _____" or "my friend is _____ and she doesn't mind that I use that word".
2. Diversity can breed a sense of threat that the powerful group is losing or lost dominance.
These women were probably #1.
