  To be fair, that's a common thing in the US too, it's just people can't be overt about it.

    You mean “until recently” right? People have stopped even using “I’m not racist but...” when that was much more common a few years or so back. The political climate and subtle language has changed everywhere. It’s tough to notice as a white person but if you’re in the South and aren’t white the differences are obvious even once you go into suburbs.

  I'm literally in France now. I hear people talking trash about 'brown' refugees on a daily basis here in Paris. I've probably heard something similar once or twice in my 8 years in the US, mostly coming from mentally unstable people like the ones you see in the streets in San Francisco. TBH UK is a lot more sensitive than the mainland Europe (there's a lot more immigrants in London too). Anecdotal, of course, but that has consistently been my impression.
